Overview
- A 17-year-old was shot in the legs on Lime Grove, Toxteth, at about 12.55am on March 12 and is in hospital, with police later confirming she needs surgery.
- Officers say the attack appears targeted by someone known to the victim; no arrests have been announced as forensics, house-to-house enquiries and CCTV reviews continue.
- Police corrected initial reports that the victim was in her 20s, confirming her age as 17, and asked witnesses to check footage of Lodge Lane and routes toward Sefton Park.
- In separate enforcement, two people were arrested after a St Helens vehicle stop that led to suspected Class A drugs, a crowbar and about £50,000 cash being seized, with both suspects released under investigation.
- Elsewhere, detectives are probing a West Derby break-in where a man was tied up and robbed, and a 15-year-old has been charged after a Rambo-style knife was recovered during County Lines patrols in New Ferry.
