Nurse describes horror and 'panic' as girl, 7, left fighting for life after church shooting

A nurse who attended a memorial service for a young woman who died from leukaemia has described how "panic" erupted after a gun attack outside the church. Four women and two children were injured in the shooting on Saturday afternoon (January 14) - with one, a seven-year-old girl, fighting for her life in hospital.

Jo Ifghallal was attending the service for her son's girlfriend Sara Sanchez when she said the occupants of a black car opened fire. Other witnesses said the attack sent mourners running and screaming outside St Aloysius Roman Catholic Church in Euston, London.

Jo told MyLondon: "We were all coming out of the church, dressed in white, about to release some doves. And the shooting happened as we were waiting for that.
