Alps attack girl returns home with UK police

A schoolgirl whose parents and grandmother were gunned down in a shooting spree in the Alps has left France.

Zainab al Hilli, seven, was placed in a medically-induced coma after she was shot in the shoulder and badly beaten in the massacre that killed her three relatives last week.

The child, who is seen as one of the key witnesses in the case, left hospital at 8am yesterday, accompanied by British police.
