The horrific events took place over seven hours, with two men injured in Hackney.
Two more were shot in Brixton and a fifth was left wounded in Croydon after the shooting spree.
Sadiq Khan said in 2019 that he “lays awake at night” thinking about the horrific crime in the capital.
He said: “How many Londoners will be the victims of violence in the coming days?
“How many women will have to suffer sexual assault or domestic violence? (…) And what more can we do to bring this suffering to an end?”
