Liverpool shootings: 'You can never really get peace'

In the past 18 months there have been five fatal shootings in Merseyside, but no one has been charged for the killings.

Merseyside Police say a lack of resources has made tackling gun crime harder, but the Home Office says it is working with police to find a solution, and lays the blame for the rise in gun crime on gang leaders.
