The news comes after a 19-year-old was left fighting for his life after being shot as locals assumed the sounds were fireworks. The teenager was rushed to hospital after being shot in the leg and back around 8.50pm yesterday, November 7.
Emergency services were called to Manley Road, Huyton, Merseyside following reports of a man suffering gunshot wounds outside a property on the street. The victim received initial treatment at the scene before being transported to hospital, where he continues to be in a serious condition.
Police cordoned off the area as officers conducted door-to-door enquiries and reviewed CCTV footage. The cordon remained in place today, November 8, stretching across the entire street from Elizabeth Road to Tarbock Road.
A second, smaller cordon was visible within the larger restricted zone in the middle of Manley Road. Police vans, Matrix vehicles, and crime scene investigators donned in white protective gear were seen at the location.
A resident on nearby Tarbock Street revealed: “We heard what we thought were fireworks. We don’t know (what time), we can’t work it out. We just thought there’s been loads of fireworks around here. We didn’t even see the police. It wasn’t until somebody knocked about an hour later that we knew.”
Another resident on Elizabeth Street commented: “I did hear a few bangs, but I thought it was Bonfire Night. (I heard) just a ‘bang-bang-bang’. It was the same the night before, only worse. So last night I took no notice.
“The first time I thought there’s something gone on was when I woke up this morning and looked out of the window and saw the police cars here.”
