Cheryl Korbel did what many people would do if they heard a commotion outside, she opened her front door to see what was going on.Police say that a 35-year-old man and another man had been walking down Kingsheath Avenue in Dovecot, Liverpool, shortly before 10pm on Monday evening. They were approached by a gunman coming from the same direction who was wearing a black padded jacket, a black balaclava with a peak, dark pants and black gloves. He shot at them and the two men ran.
