Friends and fam­i­ly gath­ered yes­ter­day at the Ch­agua­nas home of Shan­ice Mor­ris to bid a tear­ful farewell to the 32-year-old moth­er whose life was cut short in a vi­o­lent Ed­in­burgh 500 shoot­ing.

Well-wish­ers filled the gath­er­ing, which spilt out on­to the streets, where grief was ev­i­dent and me­dia ac­cess was lim­it­ed at the fam­i­ly’s re­quest, with cam­eras per­mit­ted un­der con­trolled con­di­tions.

Mor­ris, of Fla­men­go Street, Ed­in­burgh 500, Ch­agua­nas, was killed on the night of April 17, in a shoot­ing in­ci­dent at Vic­to­ria Dri­ve West, Bal­moral Park.
