Four people were injured, including a pensioner, after a shooting in South London
A shooting in South London has left four people injured, with one in a critical condition. Police were called to Brixton in the early hours of the morning to reports of a shooting.
The police were called just after 1am on Saturday, May 2, to reports of shots being fired from a vehicle at Coldharbour Lane, Brixton. Four minutes later, they arrived alongside specialist officers at the scene, where they found four people suffering from gunshot injuries who were then taken to the hospital. A 25-year-old man remains in a life-threatening condition.
Three other people – aged 21, 47 and 70 – were also taken to the hospital, but their conditions have been described as not life-threatening or life-changing.
No arrests have been made at the time, but the police have said “detectives are working at pace” to identify who is responsible.
Detective Chief Inspector Allam Bhangoo, who is leading the investigation, said: “We understand how concerning this incident will be for the local community and want to reassure residents that officers are working at pace to identify those responsible.
“This was an act of indiscriminate violence, and we will work relentlessly to bring the suspects to justice. It is vital that anyone who witnessed the incident or has information that could assist the investigation comes forward.
“Local residents can expect to see an increased police presence in the area over the coming days. If you have any concerns, please speak to officers.”
