Shock Shooting in Camden: Seven-Year-Old Girl Fighting for Life
A horrifying shooting in Camden has left a seven-year-old girl in a life-threatening condition. The terrifying attack unfolded during a church funeral service on Saturday afternoon.
Multiple Victims Hurt in Broad Daylight Attack
At 1:29pm on January 14, police rushed to Phoenix Road, NW1, after reports of gunfire. Emergency teams, including London’s Air Ambulance, arrived swiftly. Four women aged 21, 41, 48, and 54 were taken to a central London hospital. The 48-year-old suffered potentially life-changing injuries, while the others have non-life threatening wounds.
A second child, aged 12, sustained a minor leg injury but has since been discharged. The seven-year-old girl remains in a critical state.
Shots Fired From Moving Vehicle
Early investigations reveal the gunshots came from a moving car that sped off after the attack. Police have yet to make any arrests, but the investigation is well underway.

“Our thoughts are especially with the seven-year-old girl and her family. We are committed to bringing those responsible to justice.”
“Expect increased police presence in Camden over the weekend,” Wells added. “We urge anyone with information to come forward, either to police or anonymously to Crimestoppers.”
