Home Secretary Jacqui Smith has reassured the public that the issue of gun crime is still her priority.

Ms Smith, speaking two days after the fatal shooting of 11-year-old Rhys Jones in Liverpool, conceded there were too many guns on the streets but pledged to help people feel safe.

She reiterated the importance of catching the young Everton fan's killer and urged people to come forward and give police any information they had on his death.
