Appeal for witnesses after Thamesmead shooting
Police from the Met’s Specialist Crime South (Trident) are appealing for witnesses following a shooting in Thamesmead.
Police were called to Manordene Road shortly after 6pm on Friday to reports of a shooting.
A 28-year-old man was found at the scene suffering from gunshot injuries.
He was taken to a London hospital for further treatment and is in a stable condition.
At this early stage, no arrests have been made and enquiries are ongoing.
Any witnesses or anyone with any information is asked to contact police on 101, quoting reference Cad 6216/07Feb or to stay anonymous, contact the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. They never ask your name and they cannot trace your call, your IP address or the device you use.
Everyone at the South London Press thanks you for your continued support.
Former Housing Secretary Robert Jenrick has encouraged everyone in the country who can afford to do so to buy a newspaper, and told the Downing Street press briefing:
“A FREE COUNTRY NEEDS A FREE PRESS, AND THE NEWSPAPERS OF OUR COUNTRY ARE UNDER SIGNIFICANT FINANCIAL PRESSURE”
