A murder investigation is under way after a woman was fatally shot at a Merseyside village pub on Christmas Eve.<\/p>\n
She and three men were taken to hospital with gunshot wounds after the incident at the Lighthouse Inn in Wallasey Village on the Wirral shortly after 11.50pm.<\/p>\n
The woman was later pronounced dead, and her family are being supported by specially trained officers.<\/p>\n
Police said a number of other people were also injured.<\/p>\n
A cordon has set up in the area while officers speak to witnesses and examine CCTV footage.<\/p>\n
Detective Superintendent Dave McCaughrean said: “This investigation is in the very early stages, and we understand that this is a truly shocking and devastating incident that has happened just before Christmas Day in a busy venue full of young people.<\/p>\n
“We have a number of officers at Wallasey Village who are carrying out extensive enquiries to understand exactly what has taken place and take immediate action.<\/p>\n
“A woman has tragically lost her life at Christmas whilst several people are being treated in hospital, and our thoughts and condolences are with the victim’s family.<\/p>\n
“I would ask anyone who was in the Lighthouse in Wallasey Village last night who witnessed the incident or has mobile or CCTV footage of what happened to contact us as a matter of urgency as they may have information which is vital to our investigation.<\/p>\n
“We believe that the gunman left the pub car park in a dark coloured vehicle – possibly a dark coloured Mercedes, shortly after the shooting, and we are keen to hear from anyone who saw this to contact us immediately.”<\/p>\n
