Four people have been taken to hospital with gunshot wounds after multiple shots were fired from a vehicle in Brixton, south London, in the early hours of Saturday. One man, 25, is in a life-threatening condition, while three others, aged 21, 47 and 70, sustained non life-threatening injuries, the Met Police said. Officers arrived at the scene on Coldharbour Lane within minutes following reports of the shooting, at about 01:15 BST. No arrests have been made, and police are continuing to investigate. The London Ambulance Service said: "We treated four patients at the scene. We took two of them to a major trauma centre and the other two patients to a local hospital." Police conducted searches near Southwyk House estate, Coldharbour Lane, on Saturday and a section of the road remained cordoned off with closures likely to remain until Sunday morning. Moh John, 45, who works at a supermarket near to the estate, told the PA news agency there was a "party" taking place and that he saw people "run away". "I was putting something there and I heard the noises," he said. "It was busy, there was a party [...] But then I saw the people, some people try to come in the shop and I locked the door.
