We have recently had to report on a number of horrifying incidents that have occurred in or around schools, and unfortunately, today brings yet another.

 

Children and their parents were reportedly left terrified after a shooting took place near a school in Huyton, England, yesterday.

 

According to reports, emergency services were called to the scene in Lincombe Road, Huyton, after two men were shot in the back, close by to Park View Primary School.

 

A resident revealed that the incident occurred just as parents were picking up their children, with the gunshots causing them to run away, terrified.

 

“The children actually witnessed it. They ran and the parents were petrified. It’s disgusting that something like this happened at school time. There could have been a really bad accident,” said a local resident.

 

 

A 17-year-old and 23-year-old are now in hospital, where they are being treated for their injuries.

 

Detective Inspector Mike Leyland, from the Matrix Serious Organised Crime team, said that security in the area had been heightened to ensure the safety of locals, schoolchildren and their parents.

 

“High visibility patrols have been stepped up to reassure the local community, and a thorough investigation is already underway to establish the full circumstances surrounding the incident and bring those responsible to justice,” he said.
