Shots Fired Twice in One Night Across South East London
Gunfire Erupts in Brockley
Last night, chaos hit south east London as officers responded to two separate gunshot incidents. The first call came at 9.52pm on Monday, 12 December, when police were alerted to a disturbance on Brockley Rise SE23. A group of males were involved in an altercation, and at least one reportedly fired shots into the air.
Police quickly arrived and scoured the area, but the suspects had vanished. Thankfully, no one was hurt. Several shell casings were recovered at the scene.
Teen Injured in Second Shooting on Dursley Road
Just over an hour later, at 11.15pm, officers were called to Dursley Road SE3 where gunfire was again reported. This time, a teenage boy was injured—not by the bullets but by glass after shots were fired through a window.
The boy was taken to hospital with injuries described as not life-threatening. So far, no other victims have come forward.
Police Hunt for Answers
Police have yet to make any arrests and are investigating whether the two shootings are connected. They are urging anyone with information to come forward.
If you have any details that could help, please contact police on 101 quoting reference CAD 6627 or 7068 of 12 December,” said a Metropolitan Police spokesperson.
