(32 minutes later)
A young man has died after being shot in north London. A man in his 20s has been shot dead in north London.
The Met Police said it was called at 15:20 BST to Roman Way in Islington to reports of gun shots being fired. Emergency services were called to Roman Way in Islington at 15:20 BST and found the man with gunshot wounds.
Officers attended as well as the London Ambulance Service who found a man, aged in his early 20s, with gunshot injuries. He was pronounced dead at the scene, close to Pentonville Prison, shortly afterwards, the Met Police said.
He was pronounced dead at the scene shortly afterwards. Next of kin have been told. No arrests have so far been made. The man's next of kin have been informed but no-one has been arrested. Officers have cordoned off the Westbourne Estate area as they investigate.
The force said it was too early to say whether the shooting was linked to the prison, which is one of the country's oldest and busiest jails and houses a men's prison and a young offender institution.
A witness said he heard a number of shots, ran to his window "and a guy on a bike or moped rode off".
"When I looked to the park, I could see a guy stagger then fall," he added.
"That was it, then police came."
