Yeah you're probably right actually, sounds likely

[Iceman]

I just read that back and it comes off really bad. I do feel sorry for them and all but if they were messing about they wont get any sympathy from me.

[Kerry]

Shotgun shot? Don't they fire *shot* everywhere?

[Iceman]

OH that would make a hell of a lot more sense than my theory haha

[Kerry]

Nah I really don't know. It could have been an all out brawl and some that are injured have been assaulted.

Maybe it wasn't the teens, I just assumed that. Haven't seen the news so dont know much else about it.

Maybe it wasn't, but I'll hazard a guess that it was - no doubt we'll learn more as the news unfolds.

it was probably teens

Why would someone shoot an 18year old holding a baby

Comment from one of the girl's mothers in the DM - where she refers to 'this boy / the boy'. Is that assumption on her part, or does she know more than she is letting on - or that is being reported?

Mrs Crichlow said of the shooting: ‘I want everyone to know that this boy has put a bullet in her heart. She was holding her baby in her arms.
‘He was covered in her blood. My daughter was on the ground bleeding. She’d been shot in the chest. It was mayhem.
‘I heard the boy was aiming for someone else.’

Det Ch Insp Mick Foote said the were in a back garden talking to a group of boys when the gunman opened fire.

He said: "It appears a man on his own has gone towards the crowd and let off one single shot from a shotgun.

"He ran away from the scene and he joined three other guys who were on pedal cycles, one of them holding a holdall."

He added: "It was a random, reckless act and we are fortunate we are not dealing with a fatal shooting here."

Mr Foote said officers were working on the basis the shooting was gang-related.

"I do not believe the girls were the intended targets. What's particularly devastating is the young girl was carrying a young child," he said.

"This was totally unprovoked."

The suspects were dressed in dark clothing and had their hoodies tightly wrapped around their faces.

Gangstas on push-bikes .....

Maybe they were doing their 'Be Green' bit. Surely any self respecting Gangsta wif hoodie would have a half decent set of stolen wheels.....

It's a sad state of affairs when all is said and done.

A teenage girl has been gunned down in the street with two friends while clutching her 11-month-old son in her arms.

Jessica Chrichlow, 18, collapsed to the ground alongside two sisters - named locally as Sammy, 17, and Alex, 19 - after being caught in the crossfire of a botched gangland attack, witnesses said.

Police said it was "hugely fortunate" that the baby escaped injury.

Detective Chief Inspector Mick Foote said: "It was a random, reckless act and we are fortunate we are not dealing with a fatal shooting here."

The three victims had been outside in John Fearon Walk, North Kensington, west London, enjoying balmy temperatures when the attacker got off a bike and screamed "mother ********r" at the group, a neighbour, who did not want to be named, said.

Police said the child may have been missed by inches as the bullet hit his mother.

Mr Foote added: "I do not believe the girls were the intended targets. What's particularly devastating is that the young girl was carrying a young child. This was totally unprovoked."

As a hunt was launched for several young men seen on bicycles on the west London housing estate on Thursday night, the officer said he was "working on the basis" that the shooting was gang-related.

One neighbour said her 12-year-old daughter saw the shooting from her bedroom window.

Jacky Cinesey said: "I have sent her to school in tears today. These girls were just outside enjoying the sunshine. It's horrifying."
