Police condemn London shooting after girl, 7, left in life-threatening condition
In a tragic incident reported by Sky News, a shooting occurred outside a funeral service near Euston station in central London, resulting in critical injuries to a seven-year-old girl. The shooting, which happened during a memorial event, also left several others injured, compounded by the chaos as mourners fled the scene.
According to eyewitnesses, the scene turned frantic after a suspected drive-by shooting. Shockingly, four women and the young girl were injured, with another twelve-year-old also sustaining a minor injury. One bystander recounted hearing a loud noise, initially dismissing it, until the panic ensued with people running in various directions.
The funeral service was for Sarah Sanchez, a young woman who had recently passed away from leukemia, alongside her mother who died shortly afterward. While it's unconfirmed if the victims were part of this ceremony, the police were called shortly before 1:30 PM following reports of shots fired from a moving vehicle.
The Metropolitan Police released a statement expressing their outrage, labeling any shooting as unacceptable, especially one that injures multiple civilians, including children. They extended their thoughts and prayers to those affected and emphasized the urgency in their ongoing investigation, appealing to the community for any information that could assist in bringing the perpetrators to justice.
This incident not only highlights the rising concerns regarding public safety but also left a community in mourning, reflecting on both the lives lost and the fear that violence can permeate even the most solemn of gatherings.
