Shooting at British pub on Christmas Eve leaves 1 dead, 3 wounded
A Christmas Eve shooting at a pub in northwest England killed a young woman and wounded three men, police say.
The Merseyside Police force say it is investigating the 11:50 p.m. shooting yesterday at the Lighthouse pub in the town of Wallasey as a murder case. Police have not detained any suspects.
“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,” says Detective Superintendent David McCaughrean.
The woman died at a hospital “with an injury consistent with a gunshot wound,” the police force says in a statement. Along with the three men wounded, several people were injured, according to the statement.
