Hackney: So, there was a pretty scary situation over the weekend. Two guys got shot, and another one was stabbed in what police think might be connected incidents.
It all kicked off around 10:35 PM on Saturday when the cops got calls about gunfire in Homerton. They rushed over, and so did the air ambulance and other emergency services.
They found a 27-year-old man with gunshot wounds right outside Homerton Station. Not good at all. Then, on Gascoyne Road, two other guys, aged 28 and 29, were hurt too—one shot and the other stabbed.
Luckily, their injuries aren’t life-threatening, which is a relief. The Met Police are on it, trying to figure out what happened and who might be behind it.
As of now, no one has been arrested. Superintendent Brigid Beehag-Fisher from the local police said it’s concerning how some people seem to not care about community safety.
She assured everyone that the investigation teams are working hard to get to the bottom of this and find those responsible. Plus, there’ll be more police around in the coming days.
If anyone knows anything about what went down, they’re encouraged to talk to the officers or call the police with any info.
