Liverpool shooting: nine-year-old killed in ‘appalling act of evil’

Merseyside Police have named the nine-year-old victim of a fatal shooting in Liverpool as Olivia Pratt-Korbel.

Appealing to members of the criminal fraternity to “examine their consciences”, the Chief Constable urged people to come forward and identify her killer.

Olivia’s mother also sustained injuries and is being treated in hospital. Police say the family have no connection to the perpetrators of the crime.
