He told onlookers: "I've been shot," as he stayed with the girl until her aunt arrived on the scene. After making sure the youngster was okay, and receiving a tea towel to wipe his face, he fled the scene. No police action was taken against him.
The girl, who lived just three minutes' walk away, had been in a nearby youth club with her aunt when she had headed out to go trick-or-treating.
It is understood that the shooter, who was believed to have been lying in wait on a nearby street, ran off from the incident on foot. Police seized the VW and a second vehicle, a Ford Kuga, on Blackwater Road nearby. And days after the shooting, officers raided homes across the city, including one on
