A man has been charged over the shooting of a 15-year-old girl who was waiting to catch a bus home from school in Liverpool.
Rio Jones, 18, of Jermyn Street in Toxteth, faces two counts of attempted murder, possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life, and possession of a controlled drug.
Jones is in custody and was due to appear at Liverpool, Knowsley, Sefton and St Helens adult remand court on Saturday, Merseyside Police said.
Detectives said it is a “miracle” the girl survived the shooting.
She had been taken to hospital in a critical condition with a gunshot wound to her upper body from the Tuesday evening incident.
She is recovering in hospital in a serious but stable condition.
