This is the shocking moment gunshots are heard being fired at a packed pub where an innocent 26-year-old women was killed and four men injured near Liverpool.
The woman suffered a fatal gunshot wound to the head when a gunman fired through the front of the Lighthouse Inn in Wallasey, a village near Liverpool, as she celebrated Christmas Eve with her sister and friends.
Four men also suffered gunshot wounds in the attack, including a 28-year-old who is fighting for his life in a critical condition.
Footage has now emerged of a woman asking 'is that a gun?' as she sat parked in the pub's car park as the horrific incident took place.
Following the shooting, the gunman is understood to have then fled the scene in a dark vehicle, believed to be a Mercedes Benz.
Detective Superintendent Sue Coombs yesterday said police believe the woman was not the intended target.
She added that the gunman fired shots through the front of the pub before fleeing the scene in a dark vehicle, believed to be a Mercedes Benz.
Meanwhile, Assistant Chief Constable Jenny Sims said the woman's family are heartbroken following the 'callous' shooting.
She said: 'As you can imagine, her devastated family are inconsolable and heartbroken.
'The woman was enjoying a night out with family and friends when the callous and cold-blooded shooting took place at the pub.
'This is not the time for anyone who knows who is responsible for this shooting to stay quiet. The fact that this has happened on Christmas Eve makes the tragedy even more unpalatable and shows those responsible have no regard for members of the public who just want to be able to live their lives without fear.
