A man has been killed and two others injured in a shooting in London – with one of the survivors found with gunshot wounds to his legs.

So far no arrests have been made for what The Metropolitan Police called “a senseless act of violence”.

Officers were called to Wells Park Road in Sydenham, in the south east Londonat 10:10 a.m. Sunday with reports of a shooting.

Police and paramedics found a man with a gunshot wound, who died at the scene.

The woman who was shot in the legs was taken to hospital, but her condition is not said to be life-threatening.

A third person later went to the hospital with what were also believed to be gunshot wounds. Officers were awaiting an update on their condition.

Commander Peter Stevens said: “I know people will be shocked by this senseless act of violence, especially on a Sunday morning in a residential area.

“I share their concerns and can assure the local community that the Met’s response, along with our partners, was swift.

“We are determined to protect the community, 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. It is possible that police cordons will remain in place for some time so they can carry out their vital work.”
