The parents of a woman who was shot dead in a pub on Christmas Eve have paid tribute to their “special daughter” who was the “light of their life”. Elle Edwards was with friends in the Lighthouse pub in Wallasey Village when a gunman opened fire shortly before midnight.
The 26-year-old, who is not believed to be the intended target of the shooting, was hit in the head and died from her injuries. During the incident four men were also injured, including a 28-year-old man from Beechwood, Wirral, who is no longer in a critical condition but is continuing to receive medical treatment, the Liverpool Echo reports.
A 22-year-old man also suffered an injury to his legs, a 24-year-old man sustained an injury to his hand and a 33-year-old man suffered an injury to his wrist.
