Forest Hill: Three in hospital after shooting Forest Gate shooting: Two arrests made
(about 2 hours later)
Three people have been taken to hospital after reports of shots being fired in Forest Gate, east London. Two people have been arrested after a man was found with a gunshot wound at a residential property in east London.
The London Ambulance Service (LAS) said it was called at about 14:50 BST to Upton Lane. LAS confirmed it took one person to a major trauma centre and the other two patients to hospital. The Metropolitan Police said officers were called at about 14:40 BST to Upton Lane, Forest Gate, following reports of gunshots.
The Met Police told BBC London the force was investigating a double shooting. Police were joined by the London Ambulance Service at the property, where the man was treated for a gunshot wound before being taken to a major trauma centre. His condition is not believed to be life-threatening.
Upton Lane remains closed both ways between Kitchener Road and Chaucer Road. Two other people were taken to hospital with head injuries, and a firearm was recovered from the scene, the Met said.
Ch Insp Daryl Jones said: "We are aware that this shooting on a residential street this afternoon would have had an enormous impact on the local community.
"We are pleased we've been able to make two arrests and recover a firearm within hours of the incident.
"Any residents with concerns, please speak to the officers at the scene or to your local neighbourhood policing teams."
The force said a cordon remained in place the area.
