Harlesden: Woman killed and two injured in shooting

The River of Life Elim Pentecostal Church on Gifford Road is behind the police cordon.

Another witness who lives in the area and did not wish to be identified told BBC News: “I heard the gun shots and then when I opened the window I saw one guy running.”

He said one man had been hit in the leg and the shots had been fired from a car.

A neighbour, who lives on Gifford Road, said her daughter had come home 10 minutes before the shooting.

The woman added that the victim did not live in the area.

“My son thought there were fireworks, then I heard my neighbour screaming and I realised there was a shooting,” she said.

“It’s crazy, it’s sad. It’s scary, it does not feel safe.

“I’ve lived here since 2008 and I’ve never heard anything like this before.”
