Gun violence on London’s streets ‘must stop’

victimThe mother of a 17-year-old boy who was killed over the weekend has called for an end to violence on London’s streets.

“Let my son be the last and be an example to everyone. Just let it stop,” said Pretana Morgan, whose son Rhyhiem was shot dead in Southwark on Saturday.

The teenager was one of four people shot in the capital over the bank holiday weekend.

In Wealdstone, two boys, aged 13 and 15, suffered head injuries, and a 22-year-old was shot in Lewisham.

None of them have injuries which are considered to be life-threatening.

In the latest incident, a 43-year-old man was stabbed in Ealing after a dispute over a man’s driving on a residential street.

Scotland Yard said the victim, who is in a stable condition in hospital, was believed to be attacked after questioning the driving of the suspect – who then drove away.
