Three people were shot outside a London Tube station on Monday night as the capital's wave of violence continued.
Police were called to reports of gunfire on Kingsbury High road in Brent at 9.45pm where two men and a woman were found with gunshot wounds.
Scotland Yard said so far no arrests have been made, and the incident was not 'terror related.'
The shooting came just hours after shots were fired outside a school in Maida Hill, west London.
Kingsbury Tube station on the Jubilee line was shut down as officers responded to the shooting. The three victims, two men and a woman, were taken to hospital.
Both men – aged 18 and 24 - remain in hospital; neither is in a life-threatening condition. The 30-year-old woman has been discharged from hospital.
A spokesman for the Metropolitan Police said: 'Police and London Ambulance Service were alerted at around 2145hrs on Monday, 20 August, to reports of shots fired in Kingsbury Road, NW9. Officers from Brent attended the location along with London Ambulance Service. They found three people suffering injuries. We await assessment of their condition. A crime scene is in place and local roads are closed. There has been no arrest at this early stage.'
An update on Transport for London's website read last night: 'Kingsbury: Closed - Station closed while the police carry out an investigation outside the station. London Underground tickets are being accepted on local bus services.'
Monday’s shooting comes just hours after shots were fired outside a school in west London. Armed police were dispatched shortly after 4pm after witnesses reported hearing three gunshots outside the Kennet West Skills Centre. No students were in the school but building contractors working inside the building at the time of the incident spoke of how they ducked for cover after hearing the gunshots.
In the earlier incident, a motorbike driver is said to have opened fire on a white Volvo on Kennet Road. No arrests were made and the Metropolitan Police said it was too early to confirm whether the two incidents were related.
Scotland Yard Commissioner Cressida Dick claimed violence in the capital was waning, despite around 90 killings so far this year, compared with 118 in 2017.
She insisted there was far more bloodshed in major US cities, even though in February and March London overtook New York's murder rate for the first time. She said the murder rate had slowed in London – adding that there have been 161 killings in New York this year, almost double that in the capital. On social media, shocked residents and people out for the night shared warnings, urging friends to take care.
