A Christmas Eve shooting at a pub in northwest England killed a young woman and wounded three men, police said Sunday.
The Merseyside Police force said it was investigating the 11:50 p.m. Saturday shooting at the Lighthouse pub in the town of Wallasey as a murder case. Police have not detained any suspects.
The woman died at a hospital "with an injury consistent with a gunshot wound," the police force said in a statement. Along with the three men wounded, several people were injured, according to the statement. "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," he said.
"We've got a lot of young people, families in that area. The Lighthouse is central in that community," Jeffrey Hughes, minister of the United Reformed Church, said.
