Tulse Hill shooting: Boy, 17, fighting for life after being gunned down as London crimewave continues

A teenage boy is fighting for life after being shot in a south London estate as the capital’s violent crimewave continues.

The boy, 17, was shot in the Tulse Hill Estate just after 9.30pm on Sunday.

He was taken to hospital for treatment and remained in a critical condition on Monday afternoon.

No arrests have been made as police continue to investigate at the scene.

It comes as a 28-year-old man was also shot in Leytonstone, east London, in broad daylight on Monday.

Officers were called to Birch Grove just after 11.30am and found the injured male.

He was taken to hospital, where his condition was assessed as non-life threatening and non-life changing.

Again, no arrests have been made as the Met stepped up reassurance patrols in the area.

Four people have died in suspected murders in the past four days in London.

The spate of violent crime also saw police attacked by 100 youths outside Westfield in Stratford on Saturday.
