Others called the young woman a “hero” and a “selfless brave young woman” for her efforts to help the victim.

Another wrote: “My daughter and her friend were at the bar (it was crowded) and both are in shock. Thoughts are with the families involved. Very terrible.” A third posted that her daughter “was standing next to the murdered girl.”

Angela Eagle, MP for the constituency, said she was shocked by the violence, telling the BBC: “We know that for many years there has been a serious problem and organized crime of firearms involved up the river (in Liverpool).” .

“It didn’t really affect the Wirral side of the River Mersey and there is no evidence or proof at the moment that what happened in Wallasey village was actually connected to any of the gangs in Liverpool.”

Ms Angela urged anyone with information to come forward, saying: “It is really important, if you have any information that could lead to the conviction of someone who was very reckless, please come forward and tell the police what you know.”

“We believe the gunman fired towards the front entrance of the pub,” protégé Supt Sue Combes said at a news conference on Sunday.

“We know that minutes later a dark-coloured car, possibly an A-class Mercedes, was seen leaving the pub’s car park, so we’re especially anxious to speak to that man and anyone who knows anything about that car.”
