Police appeal after man shot in stomach at crowded venue in Walthamstow

Police have issued an appeal for witnesses after a man was shot in the chest at a crowded venue in east London.

Officers rushed to a warehouse district on Blackhorse Lane in Walthamstow after reports of gunfire at 10.45pm last Saturday.

A 22-year-old man was taken to hospital in critical condition after suffering a gunshot wound to the abdomen.

His injuries were later assessed as not life-threatening.

Detectives have made a renewed appeal for witnesses as they continue their investigation into the shooting.

Detective Mat Freeman, the officer leading the investigation, said: “This incident left a man seriously injured, and whilst his condition has improved, he still faces a long road to recovery.

“We are determined to find those responsible and have already carried out extensive enquiries, however we still need any witnesses to come forward and tell us what they saw.”

Anyone with information is asked to call 101 or tweet @MetCC giving the reference CAD 8299/17JUN23.
