An eight-year-old girl and a man have been seriously injured in a shooting, the Metropolitan Police has said.

The pair were taken to hospital following the shooting on Southern Row in Ladbroke Grove at about 17:30 GMT on Sunday.

The girl is in a stable condition with non life-threatening injuries. The condition of the man, 34, is unknown, while a 32-year-old woman was also taken to hospital as a precaution.

Supt Owen Renowden described it as “an appalling incident” and the leader of Kensington and Chelsea Council said it was “beyond belief that a child has been caught in the crossfire of violence on the streets of London once again”.
