Olympic Shooting Starts A Year Early


Police are appealing for witnesses to yet another black-on-black East London shooting – this time a mile from the 2012 Olympic stadium.

The risks of building the stadium in the middle of a crime blackspot were highlighted yet again when a teenager was blasted at midnight.

The 18 year-old was walking home with a pal in Abbey Road, Stratford (pictured) when he saw an armed man in a car park who shot him in the right arm.

He was rushed to Newham General Hospital and transferred to another East London hospital, where he remains in a stable condition.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Operation Trident North shootings team - which specialises in investigating violent black-on-black crime - on 020 8217 7377 or Crimestopppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
