They were all rushed to hospital with gunshot wounds, and the woman was later sadly pronounced dead.
A murder probe has now been launched.
The alleged gunman fled the scene in a dark coloured Mercedes, cops believe.
Dept Supt Dave McCaughrean of Merseyside Police said the pub was a “busy venue full of young people” at the time of the shooting.
He added: “We believe that the gunman left the pub car park in a dark coloured vehicle – possibly a dark coloured Mercedes shortly after the shooting.”
