A seven-year-old girl and three women have been taken to hospital after a shooting outside a funeral near Euston station in central London.
The Metropolitan Police said officers were called to Phoenix Road at 1.30pm on Saturday to reports of a shooting.
Three women – aged 48, 54, and 41 – were taken to hospital after the incident, the force added.
Their injuries are not thought to be life threatening, but the 48-year-old suffered a potentially life-changing injury.
A seven-year-old girl was later taken to hospital with injuries believed to have been sustained in the same incident.
Detectives said the incident took place in the vicinity of a church, where a funeral was taking place. Police said their initial inquiries suggest shots came from a moving vehicle, which was then driven away from the scene.
The force said officers were called to reports of a shooting in Phoenix Road this afternoon at 1.29pm.
