A large number of emergency services remain in the area
Three people have been injured in Clapham, south London, in a shooting that happened during a police pursuit.
Two people suffered shotgun pellet injuries when a weapon was fired by a moped rider being pursued by officers near Clapham Common South Side, the Metropolitan Police said.
A third person was injured by the moped during the incident just before 17:00 GMT. The two suspects fled the scene.
London Ambulance Service took two of the injured to a major trauma centre.
Another was taken to hospital and police said a firearm was recovered at the scene.
‘Police everywhere’
A barber, who gave his name as Kaka and was working nearby, said: “I was in the shop just before 5pm and I heard a gunshot up the road.
“We were all shocked because it was so close, the police were everywhere afterwards.”
A large number of emergency services remain in the area, which has been cordoned off.
Forensic teams were seen working in and around The Belle Vue pub, but no arrests have so far been made.
Police are continuing to hunt for the two suspects.
