Emergency services raced to St Aloysius Church in Euston yesterday afternoon
Witnesses have described the "chaos" after six people, including two young girls, were injured in a drive-by shooting outside a London church. Emergency services raced to St Aloysius Church in Euston, North London, at roughly 1.30pm on Saturday, January 14, where a funeral was reportedly being held.
The four women - aged 21, 48, 54 and 41 - were rushed to Central London Hospital, with the 48-year-old having sustained potentially life-changing injuries. Thankfully, none are thought to have injuries that are critical. Fresia collapsed and died at Heathrow Airport in November, with Sara sadly passing away just 25 days later from leukemia, which she was diagnosed with before her mother's death. Fresia has been flying back from Colombia when she collapsed shortly after the plane touched down. Emergency services were unable to revive her and she died at the scene.
Several police units remained on Phoenix Road where the shooting occurred. Father Jeremy Trood, of St Aloysius church, said: "I heard a big bang and police are in the church at moment. People who were leaving the church have rushed back in." Superintendent Ed Wells said: “Any shooting incident is unacceptable, but for multiple people, including two children, to be injured in a shooting in the middle of a Saturday afternoon is shocking. Our thoughts are with all the victims, but in particular with the seven-year-old girl, who is in a life-threatening condition and with her family.
