Detectives say they remain open-minded on whether two shootings in less than a week on the streets of Wavertree are linked.
Gunshots rang out in Birch Grove late on Thursday, April 21, before a woman was shot in the leg on Deverell Grove in the early hours of yesterday (Tuesday, April 26). The crime scenes are on roads either side of Mill Lane, between Edge Lane and the Picton roundabout.
The victim of the second shooting, a woman in her 50s, was watching TV in the living room of her home when the gunman burst inside at around 12.15am demanding to speak to someone. Merseyside Police said the suspect then went to leave the property but fired off a number of rounds, at least one of which hit the woman in the leg.
