Olivia Pratt-Korbel: Innocent girl, 9, SHOT DEAD and mom injured at home after gang war erupts
DOVECOT, LIVERPOOL: A nine-year-old girl died in her Liverpool home on Monday night, August 22, after being shot by a gun-toting gangster. It was an ordinary day for Cheryl Korbel, 46, and her three children at their terraced house on Kingsheath Avenue, Liverpool. However, a gangland confrontation that had flared up just around 100 yards along the road near the corner of Finch Lane changed their lives forever. The fight led to the tragic death of Olivia Pratt-Korbel.
Two men walking along Kingsheath Avenue from Finch Lane were attacked by a gunman in a black balaclava, a black padded jacket, black trousers and black gloves, the Daily Mail reported. Police obtained CCTV footage showing the men running for their lives as the gunman began shooting. Hearing all the noise, Olivia's mother opened the front door of their £100,000 house to investigate the commotion.
