Police were called at approximately 7:45pm on Tuesday, 2 August to reports of a firearm discharged at the junction of Shrubland Road and Albion Drive, Hackney.
Officers and the London Ambulance Service attended and found a 24-year-old man suffering from a gunshot injury. He was taken to hospital where he remains in a life-threatening condition.
Trident detectives from the Met’s Specialist Crime Command have launched an investigation. So far, there have been no arrests.
Detective Inspector Matt Webb, from Trident, said: “This shooting happened in broad daylight in a built-up residential area.

“We would like to hear from anyone who was in the Albion Drive or Shrubland Road area around 7.45pm on Tuesday, 2 August. We are particularly keen to hear from anyone who saw a silver Jaguar 4×4 in the area at that time.”
