Seems they ve arrested two already which might come as some comfort to the parents and relatives.

Not really sure splitting hairs is helping the threads here.

Poor family has lost a child.

It isn't another shooting in Liverpool though, is it? Your title is factually incorrect in every way.

Liverpool/Merseyside, it’s all the same to the rest of us who don’t live there.

Ignorance is not a good excuse.

Close enough to Liverpool as to be Liverpool. For reporting purposes it makes sense to call this a Liverpool shooting.

It really makes no difference to most of us, Mersypool is a cesspit and I'm grateful I don't live there, and Im sorry for those who do and have to suffer these vents.

There's some lovely upmarket places on the Wirral, even Liverpool has it's nicer areas.

Having lived and worked in most areas of the country and others they all have their problems and plus points, the above statement says a lot about you.

You are on to a loser, plenty of people seem to think that anywhere withi n 15miles of the Pier Head is a dangerous slum. They know because they read it somewhere.

I have until recently lived in Kingston upon Thames for over 30 years. I have no idea how many knife attacks there were in the town centre in that time, but there were certainly some fatal ones.

What I do know is that in my road alone (a residential road, not in the centre), there was : an attack on police officers by a man with a sword; an arson attack which destroyed a house; a murder; a women killed with a knife, albeit in circumstances which were established to be self defence- the incident started as attempted murder by her. All in a road of around 200 homes, with little through traffic. I would be surprised if many roads on Merseyside have a worse record.

And yet, Kingston is usually described as 'leafy'.

What I’m hearing from friends who work in local law enforcement is this is the ongoing feud between the Beechwood and Ford Ocg’s, the four men targeted and shot are well known to the Police.

Yeah. It's like saying Wolverhampton is Birmingham or Lichfield is Stoke on Trent. I have a Liverpool post code. But don't live in Liverpool.

The only one worse would be M10 9KC, in the Weatherfield district of Manchester.
