Armed officers swooped on a property inWood Green, Haringey, and opened fire on a man at about 9am on Friday. Paramedics and London’s air ambulance attended the scene but the man died shortly after. | |
After initially refusing to comment, the Metropolitan police posted a tweet saying the operation was not related to terrorism. | |

One Twitter user said the shooting happened on Winkfield Road and posted a picture showing police on the street, but Scotland Yard would not confirm the report. | |
A second picture posted by the same user showed the air ambulance had landed in White Hart Lane recreation ground. | |
