Tragedy struck at a local pub in Liverpool, United Kingdom on Christmas eve when a gunman opened fire killing a woman and hurting others.
The incident happened during a peak period as the pub was said to be filled to capacity.
Reports indicated that the gunman fired shots in Lighthouse Inn in Wallasey, near Liverpool, around 11.50 pm last night before fleeing the scene in a dark-coloured Mercedes.
Merseyside Police confirmed this and added that one woman was taken to hospital with a gunshot injury and later died.
Three men were also hospitalised with gunshot wounds and a number of others were injured in the incident.
Last night’s tragedy is one of several gun violence incidents that have plagued the Merseyside area this year.
Earlier this month, police launched a crackdown on a ‘dangerous’ gang that has been linked to drug dealing, violence and several shootings in the area. The crime group has not been connected to the shooting at the Lighthouse Inn.
