The Metropolitan Police are actively investigating the fatal shooting of a 16-year-old boy near Stockwell Tube station, an incident described as "enormously shocking." The teenager was pronounced dead at the scene shortly after officers arrived. Local residents, including longtime resident Patricia, expressed their fear about safety in the area. Labour MP Florence Eshalomi emphasized the need for a visible police presence and decried the violence, mourning the lost potential of the young victim. Mayor Sadiq Khan and Superintendent Gabriel Cameron expressed condolences to the family and community, affirming a commitment to addressing the violence.
"The situation is really bad now. I don't go out anymore. In the night, I don't feel safe. I feel so bad for the boy. It's too much for me."
"We will not tolerate this level of violence in Stockwell, Vauxhall or Camberwell Green, or anywhere across London. This is a sad, wasted life, this boy could have had so much potential."
