"The deceased is 43 years old. Two men with gunshot wounds have been transferred to Liverpool Hospital," Brett said.
"One is undergoing emergency surgery, the other has superficial wounds to the lower part of his body," he added.
The police did not say whether the gunman had any hostages.
"It's at a delicate stage. I really can't give you any more information," Brett said.
