A 35-year-old man was taken to hospital after he was shot in Northolt in the early hours of Tuesday (5 July).
The police were called at around 1.15am to reports of gunshots in the vicinity of Kingshill Avenue and Yeading Lane. According to one eye-witness account at least nine bullets were fired into a car in which the injured man was travelling.
A London Ambulance Service spokesperson said, “We sent an ambulance crew, a paramedic in a response car, and an incident response officer. We also dispatched London’s Air Ambulance by road.
“Our medics treated one patient at the scene for gunshot wounds, before taking him to a major trauma centre as a priority.”
The man’s condition has since been assessed as not life-threatening.
The area was cordoned of while a forensics team collected evidence, but the area is now clear.
Police say that no arrests have been made at this stage.
Anyone with information that could assist police is asked to call 101 or tweet @MetCC quoting reference CAD 348/05Jul.
