A shooting at a pub in England on Christmas Eve left one woman dead and three men injured, according to police.
The Associated Press reported that the incident occurred just before midnight local time at the Lighthouse pub in Wallasey, and that Merseyside Police said they were investigating it as a murder.
“This investigation is in the early stages, and we understand that this is a truly shocking and devastating incident that occurred just before Christmas Day in a busy place full of young people,” said Detective Superintendent David McCaughrean.
Police said the woman was taken to a hospital, where she died “with an injury consistent with a gunshot wound.”
