Police rushed to a shooting in a residential area of south-east London, which has left one person dead and two in hospital.
One man has died and two people have been left injured following a shooting in a residential area. Police raced to reports of gunshots being fired in the area of Wells Park Road, Sydenham, in London today at around 10.10am.
The Metropolitan Police has appealed for information as it condemned the "senseless act of violence". No arrests have been made yet as police attempt to establish the victim's identity and contact his family. "Officers will also be patrolling the area. I urge anyone with information to speak with those officers. A number of people have already contacted us, and we need that flow of information from anyone who saw or heard anything of note to continue. We also need to hear from anyone who has phone, CCTV or doorbell footage that may help the investigation."
