Merseyside Police said officers were called to the Lighthouse in Wallasey Village at around 11.50pm on Saturday following reports of gunshots.
A shooting at a pub on Christmas Eve in which a woman was killed and a number of other people injured has been described as "heartbreaking".
"I just thought it was people celebrating midnight on Christmas Day." On waking to the news of a fatality and multiple injuries, Ms Hough said: "I couldn't believe it. When I looked outside I thought 'Oh crikey'. It's a complete shock. Wallasey MP Dame Angela Eagle said the incident was "heartbreaking" and appealed for anyone with information to contact police.
He told PA: "Wallasey Village is a fairly lively area, it's a nice part of Wallasey, its a nice part of the north end of the Wirral. "We've got a lot of young people, families in that area. The Lighthouse is central in that community. He said such violence "shows us that even though we celebrate Christmas, we're still very far from those ideals as a society". Detective Superintendent David McCaughrean said: "This investigation is in the very early stages and we understand that this is a truly shocking and devastating incident that has happened just before Christmas Day in a busy venue full of young people.
