A woman has died after a shooting in Brent, north-west London, on Saturday night.

The Metropolitan police said two men, both in their 30s, were also injured, with one taken to hospital where he remains in a critical condition. The other man suffered non-life threatening injuries.

Officers were called to Gifford Road at about 9.15pm where the woman, in her 40s, was found injured. She died at the scene.

There have been no arrests.

Supt Tony Josephs, from the Met’s North West Command Unit, which covers Brent, said: “This is a truly shocking incident that has left a woman dead and two others injured, and I understand the concern this will cause the local community and those across London.

“I want to reassure people that a team of experienced detectives are already working at pace to piece together the events of last night and identify whoever was responsible for this heinous act of violence.

“If you were in or around Gifford Close at the time of the shooting, or have any information about who was responsible, please get in contact with us. A family has been left devastated and we need to work together to provide them with answers.”
