JUST ANOTHER MURDER? Two men murdered and four others injured in separate gun and stabbing attacks in south London

Two people were murdered and four others injured in separate gun and knife attacks on Remembrance Sunday.

As crowds prepared to mourn those lost to wars at events across the country, a man was shot dead and two other people were injured with gunshot wounds after an attack in south-east London.

Met Police officers were called at 10:10am today, Sunday November 10, to reports of a shooting near Wells Park Road in Sydenham.

They found a man with injuries who died at the scene.

A woman was also found with gunshot injuries to her legs and was taken to hospital for treatment for non life-threatening wounds.

A third person attended hospital with what are believed to be gunshot injuries, the force said, but their condition is currently unknown.

The Met condemned it as a "senseless act of violence" as it appealed for information.

No arrests have been made and police are trying to establish the victim's identity and contact his family.

"A post-mortem examination will be arranged in due course," a Met spokesperson said.

Commander Peter Stevens said: "I know people will be shocked by this senseless act of violence, all the more so on a Sunday morning in a residential area.

"I share their concerns and can assure the local community that the Met's response, alongside our partners, has been rapid.

"We are determined to safeguard the community, to get to the bottom of what happened here and bring those responsible to justice."

He added that there will be additional officers patrolling the area as well as forensic experts at the scene. Police cordons will also remain in place "for some time".

He also urged anyone with information to speak with the officers.

"A number of people have already contacted us, and we need that flow of information from anyone who saw or heard anything of note to continue. We also need to hear from anyone who has phone, CCTV or doorbell footage that may help the investigation."

A man also died after being stabbed at a London market where traders reportedly tackled the suspect and held him until police arrived.

The incident happened on Sunday morning at East Street Market, Walworth, in the south of London.

The man died at the scene and the two injured people - a man and a woman - were taken to hospital.

Updates on their conditions are being sought.

Forensics officers were at the scene today (main image) as the investigation got underway.

A man, believed to be in his 60s, was arrested at the scene and then taken into custody.

It is understood the incident was mental-health related.

Police confirmed it was not being treated as terrorism and they were not looking for anyone else, as it is being treated as a mental health incident.

Shop worker Wasim Hussain said the suspect was tackled by market traders who "put him down" and held him until police arrived.

He said: "They just put him down, and they waited for the police."

Commander Peter Stevens said: "Tragically, a man lost his life this morning, and officers are working hard to establish exactly what happened and to provide support to his family.

"My thoughts and sincere sympathies are with them, and with the other people injured."
