INTERNATIONAL NEWS - Two shootings in London in the space of an hour have left a 17-year-old girl dead and a boy, 16, critically ill.
The teenage girl was found with a bullet wound in Tottenham on Monday night and pronounced dead at the scene.
The boy had been found with gunshot wounds in Walthamstow earlier, with another boy, 15 who had stab injuries.
The shootings come amid concerns over rising violent crime in the capital. Police do not know if the attacks are connected at this stage.
A police cordon is still in place in Chalgrove Road, near Northumberland Park, where the girl was pronounced dead at 22:43 BST.
A local resident, who did not want to be named, said she heard multiple shots, which sounded like a "bomb" exploding.
