The mother of an eight-year-old schoolgirl who was caught in the crossfire of a shooting in West London was heard shouting, ‘My baby, my baby’s been shot.’
Armed officers from Metropolitan Police were called to Southern Row in Kensington, at 5.34pm on Sunday following numerous reports of gunfire.
Witnesses say they heard ‘four or five shots’ as well as screaming, as the gunman was seen firing directly into a car on the street.
