Police are offering a £25,000 reward for information leading to the recovery of two weapons and the arrests and successful prosecution of those involved in the shooting at the junction of Liverpool Road and Twig Lane, Huyton.
It is believed that two automatic weapons could have been used in the incident, which happened at about 5.30pm on Saturday, 4 July, 2009.
Merseyside Temporary Assistant Chief Constable Steve Moore, said: "We are determined to get these weapons and the people involved in this incident off the streets of Merseyside.
"The offenders involved in this incident showed a dangerous disregard for members of the public who were in the area at the time, and it is pure good fortune that no-one was injured as a result of their actions.
"We will not tolerate the use of guns on the streets of Merseyside. This Force is committed to tackling guncrime and last year alone we saw offenders involved in firearms incidents on Merseyside sentenced to more than 400 years in prison and shooting incidents reduced by 36 per cent.
"We could not have done this without the help of the public and I would appeal to anyone who has information to come forward. We will act on all information received in connection with the use of firearms."
“There is no place for violence of this nature on Merseyside and I would urge anyone who has any information to come forward so that the people responsible can be arrested, charged and put before the courts.”
Anyone who may have information in relation to the incident is asked to call the Merseyside Police guncrime hotline on 0800 458 1211, or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
