Salford kid who was shot in the legs writes heartbreaking letter to Santa

A seven-year-old boy from Salford has written a heartbreaking letter to Santa.

Christian Hickey is currently recovering from surgery along with his mum after they were both shot in the legs upon answering their own front door. The pair are said to be recovering well after the surgery and Christian is clearly looking forward to Christmas, having put together a list of the things he would like Santa to bring him this year. His list includes simple requests like Match Attack cards and walkie talkies, but the thing he wants the most is for Santa to "help the police catch the people who hurt me." We hope he gets his wish.
