A seven-year-old girl was “seriously injured” by shotgun pellets fired from a black Toyota in London, police have said. Officers were called to St Aloysius Church on Phoenix Road in Euston on Saturday where a memorial service was taking place for a young woman and her mother.
They believe the gunmen fired a shotgun from a Toyota C-HR at around 1.30pm before driving off. Four women and two children were injured in the attack, with the youngest left in a life-threatening condition.
Superintendent Jack Rowlands said officers “found multiple people with injuries caused by pellets from a shotgun”. He added: “Four women, aged 21, 41, 48 and 54, were taken to central London hospitals. Thankfully their injuries were assessed as non-life threatening. The 48-year-old woman has sustained potentially life-changing injuries.
