I have held my daughter in my arms as she wept for her only brother."And now history has repeated itself after armed attackers barged through her front door and, say Liverpool police, "indiscriminately" fired at Ashley on multiple occasions.In a statement, her family said: “Ashley, our girl – our shining light.

Our hearts are broken into a million pieces.“Ashley was a hard working young woman, who had her entire life ahead of her.“She had just been promoted at her job with Knowsley Council.
