Nine-year-old in critical condition after London shooting

LONDON - A nine-year-old girl was in a critical condition on May 30, police in London said, after a shooting the previous night at a restaurant in the east of the capital.

Three men were also shot in the attack, which took place around 9pm on May 29, when a gunman fired at diners from a motorbike.The girl – who police have described as an “innocent victim” – was having dinner inside the restaurant with her family when the attack took place. The three wounded men aged 26, 37 and 42 were sitting outside the restaurant in Hackney, in the east of the capital.“We do not believe that the girl and the men injured were known to each other,” said Detective Chief Superintendent James Conway, of London’s Metropolitan police.The condition of the men is stable, but one potentially faces life changing injuries, police said.

“We know Londoners will be shocked by what has taken place tonight”, added Met Deputy Assistant Commissioner Matt Ward.Gun ownership is only allowed subject to appropriate licenses, and possession of a firearm with intent to danger is an offence.More On This Topic
