A 25-year-old man is fighting for his life after being shot on Sunday night in Tulse Hill. This incident is the fifth shooting in just seven days in the area, raising serious concerns about a surge in gun violence.
The shooting took place just before 11 p.m. on the A204 Tulse Hill. The Metropolitan Police responded quickly to the scene but have not made any arrests yet. A large police cordon remains in place, and Tulse Hill is closed between Brailsford Road and Brixton Water Lane in both directions.
Lambeth Police tweeted: “We’re looking into a shooting just before 11 p.m. on Tulse Hill. A 25-year-old man is in critical condition in the hospital. Cordons are in place, but no arrests have been made. Witnesses are asked to call 101 and reference CAD 6357/18DEC, or to contact anonymously.”
This latest shooting adds to a worrying pattern of violence in Tulse Hill. On Friday night, another man in his twenties was shot, though his condition remains unknown. Additionally, shots were fired at three other locations in the area, including an incident where a 15-year-old boy was injured by flying glass after shots were fired through a window.
The community and police remain on high alert as the investigation continues. Authorities urge anyone with information to come forward immediately to assist with the ongoing inquiries.
