City of Culture??

Pair injured in double shooting
Two men have been injured in a double shooting in Liverpool.
The pair, aged 18 and 21, were hurt when shots were fired in the Norris Green area of the city on Friday night.

Both were taken to hospital for treatment to injuries described as not life-threatening but are refusing to co-operate with police inquiries.

The shooting happened on Carr Lane, which has been cordoned off for a forensic examination of the scene to be carried out on Saturday.

House-to-house enquiries will also take place and police are carrying out high-visibility patrols in the area to reassure residents.

I was recently told by a Police Inspector with Merseyside Police that Liverpool was not a 'battlefield'and that the city's status as European City of Culture for 2008 would prove his point.

Perhaps he should have been telling the criminals this, not me.
