Criminal charges against a woman who was shot in the stomach by police during a standoff have been shelved.
Sonia Price remained in hospital for 11 months after being struck in the lower abdomen by a single bullet in the street in Toxteth in July 2020.
The 56-year-old was subsequently charged with making threats with a bladed article against a Merseyside Police officer as the incident unfolded. But this count was ordered to lie on the file by a judge at Liverpool Crown Court today, Wednesday, after the prosecution was found not to be in the public interest.
