Manhunt After One Killed And Two Injured In London Shooting

-


A man was killed and two people have been injured in a shooting in London.

No arrests have been made over what a police chief called a “senseless act of violence”.

The Metropolitan Police were called to Wells Park Road in Sydenham, in the south of the city, at 10.10am on Sunday.

Officers and paramedics found a man with gunshot wounds, who died at the scene.

A woman was also found suffering from gunshot injuries to her legs. She has been taken to hospital, and police said her condition is not life-threatening.

A third person later attended hospital with what are thought to be gunshot wounds. The police are waiting for an update on their condition.

Commander Peter Stevens said: “I know people will be shocked by this senseless act of violence, all the more so on a Sunday morning in a residential area. I share their concerns and can assure the local community that the Met’s response, alongside our partners, has been rapid.

“We are determined to safeguard the community, to get to the bottom of what happened here and bring those responsible to justice.

“You will see a considerable number of additional officers in the area, including forensic experts. Police cordons are likely to remain in place for some time so that they can carry out their vital work.”
