A woman in her 50s was gunned down on her doorstep by a pair of motorcyclists who were carrying an assault rifle, a witness reports. Neighbours have expressed their shock as the "sweet old lady" was shot in the back and her house sprayed with bullets during the evening drive by.
The woman is in a non-life threatening condition in hospital following Friday's brazen shooting in Brockley, South East London. MyLondon reports that those who saw the shooting believe the lady wasn't the intended target of the shooters.
Police were called to Coston Walk at about 8.10pm on July 15, where they found the woman with suspected firearm wounds. An eyewitness said two men on motorbikes approached the Lewisham property and then shot "5 or 6 bullets", hitting the woman twice in the back.
