Two shootings in London in the space of an hour have left a 17-year-old girl dead and a boy, 16, critically ill.
The teenage girl was found with a bullet wound in Tottenham on Monday night and pronounced dead at the scene.
The boy had been found with gunshot wounds in Walthamstow earlier, with another boy, 15 who had stab injuries.
The shootings come amid concerns over rising violent crime in the capital. Police are not treating the shootings as linked.
Stella Creasy, MP for Walthamstow, said the 16-year-old boy – who was shot on Markhouse Road and taken to a hospital in east London – is still in “intensive care”.
She added that the 15-year-old boy’s stab injuries are not thought to be life-threatening.
In Tottenham, a police cordon remains in place in Chalgrove Road, near Northumberland Park, where the girl was pronounced dead at 22:43 BST.
A witness said a woman, believed to be the victim’s mother, began “screaming” when she discovered the girl shortly after the shooting.
