A 17-year-old girl has been shot dead in north London. Two shootings in London in the space of an hour have left a 17-year-old girl dead and a boy, 16, critically ill.
Police were called to Chalgrove Road, Tottenham, at about 21:35 BST on Monday to reports of a shooting. The teenage girl was found with a bullet wound in Tottenham on Monday night and pronounced dead at the scene.
The victim was found with a bullet wound and pronounced dead at the scene at 22:43. The boy had been found with gunshot wounds in Walthamstow earlier, with another boy, 15 who had stab injuries.
A 16-year-old boy is also critically ill in hospital after being shot in a separate incident in Walthamstow, east London, on the same night. A second teenage boy suffered stab wounds. The shootings come amid concerns over rising violent crime in the capital. Police are not treating the shootings as linked.
The shootings come amid concerns over rising violent crime in the capital. A police cordon is still in place in Chalgrove Road, near Northumberland Park, where the girl was pronounced dead at 22:43 BST.
Police do not know if they are connected at this stage. A witness said a woman, believed to be the victim's mother, began "screaming" when she discovered the girl shortly after the shooting.
The teenage girl's next of kin have been informed and the Met said officers are continuing their inquiries and a crime scene is in place. A local resident, who did not want to be named, said she heard multiple shots, which sounded like a "bomb" exploding.
In the Walthamstow shooting, police said they were called to Markhouse Road at 22:00 following reports of gun fire. She said: "It's not nice. I've lived here for 40 years, and in the last two or three years it's become not a nice place.
The 16-year-old boy was found with bullet wounds and taken to an east London hospital where he remains in a critical condition. "There are so many drugs, stabbings and killings."
The second victim, a boy believed to be 17, has been taken to an east London hospital with stab injuries. One witness, who works in a nearby shop, said he heard three distinct bangs, which sounded like "fireworks".
He said he saw the victim with blood on her chest sitting with friends following the shooting, before police cars and ambulances arrived.
Formal identification has yet to take place, but the girl's next of kin have been informed of her death.
