The victim’s age has not been confirmed.
A London Ambulance Service spokesperson said: “We were called this morning (10 February) at 1:40 to reports of a shooting on South Lane, New Malden.
“We sent a number of resources to the scene, including an incident response officer, an ambulance crew, and an advanced paramedic.
