Image source, Family Handout/PAPolice hunting a gunman who shot dead nine-year-old Olivia Pratt-Korbel have said they will not rest until they find her killer.
Olivia was shot as her mother struggled with two men, one with a gun, at her home in Liverpool on Monday night.
Merseyside Police said the gunman was still at large.
Speaking at a press conference earlier, Det Ch Supt Mark Kameen said: “We will not rest until we find you and we will find you.”
He added the force had received a “number of very positive lines of inquiry”.
One of the two men, who was the intended target of the gunman and has since been named as Joseph Nee, remains in hospital for treatment.
Nee ran into Olivia’s home on Kingsheath Avenue in Dovecot, followed by the gunman at about 22:00 BST on Monday.

Her mother Cheryl Korbel had opened her front door in response to the commotion outside.
Olivia was fatally shot and Ms Korbel was shot in the wrist as she tried to shut the door while Nee was shot in the upper body.
Mr Kameen said Nee would be returned to prison once his hospital treatment had ended.
He said the man who was with Nee at the time of the shooting had also been identified.
