A councillor has said the "horrible people" who shot a young girl with an air gun in a racially-motivated attack need to be brought to justice. Police have carried out extra patrols in the area of Charlton Road in Bristol this week after the girl was hit three times by air gun pellets in an incident on 2 September. The pellets did not cause any serious physical injury, but Avon and Somerset Police said she was "traumatised" by the attack, during which a racial comment was made, and left "frightened to leave the house". "These are absolutely bottom of the bin, horrible people that need to be brought to justice," said Mark Weston, councillor for Henbury and Brentry.
