Passers-by described how people “jumped to the ground and scattered” as they heard gunshots in Hackney, running from the scene.
Police were called to Chatsworth Road shortly before 1.15pm on Saturday and found the wounded victim.
“Specialist firearms officers and the London Ambulance Service attended the scene and found a man with injuries consistent with being shot,” a spokesperson for the Metropolitan Police said. “He was pronounced dead at the scene.”
The victim’s age has not been announced but witnesses described him as a “kid”. His relatives have not yet been informed of his death.

Glad it wasn't worse at least!
