Four people, including a seven-year-old girl, have been injured in a shooting outside a funeral in north London, the Metropolitan police have said.
Officers said three women – aged 48, 54 and 41 – were taken to hospital after the incident on Saturday afternoon in Phoenix Road, close to Euston station.
Detectives said the incident happened in the vicinity of a church, where a funeral was taking place. Police said the shots were believed to have been fired from a moving vehicle.
Their injuries are not thought to be life threatening, but the 48-year-old suffered a potentially life-changing injury.
A seven-year-old girl was later taken to a central London hospital with injuries believed to have been sustained in the same incident.
In a statement released on Twitter, Camden police said they now had a “significant police presence” in the area, and that an investigation was under way.
No arrests have been made yet.
Witnesses or anyone who has information about the incident have been urged to call 101, giving the reference 3357/14JAN.
Information can also be provided to Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
