Sixteen Year Old Fighting For His Life After Shooting


A 16 year old boy is in a life threatening condition in hospital after being shot in #Tooting last night.

Scotland Yard say police were called just before 10.00pm to reports of shots fired on Burfield Close, #SW17 – there was no trace of anybody injuried.

Shortly after 10.00pm police were then called to Blackshaw Road, SW17 where the boy was discovered with a gunshot wound at a residential address; he was rushed to hospital with serious injuries.

There have been no arrests at this stage.
