“Our medics treated one patient at the scene for gunshot wounds, before taking him to a major trauma centre as a priority.”
An eyewitness at the scene described seeing "at least nine bullet holes" in a car left at the scene "in driver's window and rear door on the driver's side".
He told MyLondon: "There were clearly numerous latex gloves, a foil sheet and what appeared to be bandages on the road by the driver's door, suggesting there were injuries.
"A number of shots had passed through the car and exited the passenger's window, where they ended up is anyone's guess."
