A man has died after several gunshots were heard outside a busy south London pub.
Detectives remain at the scene in Clapham today after a suspected shooting near The Landor pub, which killed a man.
A section of Willington Road remains cordoned off with a forensic tent set up on the residential street after the incident at about 10pm yesterday.
Residents said they heard several bangs before hearing sirens as the emergency services raced to the scene.
A witness told Metro: ‘I heard four pops I thought it was fireworks but then an ambulance pulled up outside my flat. Then I realised it was so something serious. The gunshots were close together like bang bang bang bang.’
The victim is believed to be a man in his 20s.
A London Ambulance Service spokesperson told Metro in a statement: ‘We were called at 9:59pm on Monday 10 August to reports of a shooting on Landor Road, SW9.
‘We sent resources to the scene including an ambulance crew, an incident response officer and paramedics in fast response cars. We also dispatched a trauma team in a car from London’s Air Ambulance.
‘Our first paramedics arrived in three minutes.
‘Sadly, despite the best efforts of our crews, a man was pronounced dead at the scene.’
The forensic tent was erected on the pavement outside the Fenwick Estate a few minutes from Clapham North station.
A source close to the investigation told MyLondon: ‘Specialist forensics teams have started working to secure evidence and establish the circumstances surrounding the shooting. Nearby houses with ring doorbells were immediately visited by officers in order to obtain any available footage.’
