Shooting in north London leaves teenager with 'life-changing' injuries

A 14-year-old boy has suffered “life-changing” injuries following a shooting outside a tube station in north London. No arrests have been made and detectives from the Met’s Trident team are appealing for witnesses to the attack.

Police were called by the London Ambulance Service shortly after 11pm on Tuesday night to reports of a male suffering gunshot injuries. Officers including firearms officers and colleagues from British Transport Police attended the scene on Seven Sisters Road close to the underground station.

The teenage victim was taken to hospital, where he remains in a stable condition, but his injuries have been deemed life-changing.

The incident follows last week’s fatal shooting of a 19-year-old outside a cinema complex in Wood Green, north London. The victim was the first teenager to die by gunshot in the capital this year. On Sunday, a 31-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of murder in connection with the shooting.
