THE mother of a teenage girl shot dead outside a hairdresser’s shop in Birmingham yesterday made an emotional appeal for witnesses to come forward.

The mother of one of two teenagers gunned down outside a New Year party today pleaded with the public to help catch her daughter’s killer and for rival gangs not to seek revenge for the death.

Witnesses have been reluctant to help police investigating the murders of two teenage girls killed in a storm of gunfire at a party, senior officers said today.
