Girl, 7, shot outside church in London

A seven-year-old girl has been shot along with three other women outside a funeral at the St Aloysius Church on Phoenix Road in London.

Police in London confirmed that the girl was in the hospital as a result of the injuries she sustained from a drive-by attack just outside Euston Station.

The shooting, Police said, occurred at about 1.30 pm on Saturday.

According to a report by MyLondon, medics found the women, aged 48, 54 and 41 all suffering from bullet wounds along with the seven-year-old.

All four victims were said to be immediately rushed to the hospital with condition of the 48-year-old woman potentially life-changing.

Police believe the gunshots came from a moving vehicle which immediately fled the scene. The funeral the victims were attending prior to the shocking attack is believed to be that of a woman who died of leukaemia.

A witness who claims they were inside St Aloysius Church when the incident took place told a MyLondon reporter at the scene: “It was chaos. It was horrible.

“No one knew if it was a bomb or gunman. We were looking for places to hide. We all just snuggled into corners where we could. We left after about 10 minutes, I did not dare [leave before]. It was not nice.”
