Shooting of 26-year-old woman at a pub is not thought to have been targeted, police say as they hunt for gunman

A woman killed in a shooting outside a Merseyside pub on Christmas Eve was not thought to have been targeted in the attack, police say.

Emergency services were called to the Lighthouse Inn in Wallasey Village at around 11.50pm following reports of gunshots. Three men and one woman were rushed to hospital with gunshot wounds. The young woman later tragically died in hospital.

Issuing an update this afternoon, Merseyside Police say they believe the woman was out celebrating Christmas with friends and family, and was not targeted in the attack. They are now appealing to members of the public to help them trace the gunman.
