An eight-year-old girl and man in his 30s have been seriously injured in a double shooting in Kensington.

Officers were called yesterday to just after 5:30pm to Southern Row where the London Ambulance Service were treating two people for gunshot injuries.

The 34-year-old man and girl were taken to hospital, as well as a 32-year-old woman as a precaution.

She was not injured.

Met Police are now appealing for witnesses and information, and say they're waiting for an update on the condition of the pair, but the girl is not thought to have life-threatening injuries.

Superintendent Owen Renowden, in charge of policing for Kensington and Chelsea, said the girl is "in a stable condition this morning".
