Murder arrest over fatal shooting in Clapham

A man has died in a shooting in south London and police have arrested a suspect on suspicion of murder.

Officers and paramedics were called to Willington Road, Clapham, just before 22:00 BST on Monday following reports of gunshots near The Landor pub.

A 25-year-old man was pronounced dead at the scene, the Metropolitan Police said.

Shortly after the shooting, a 22-year-old man attended hospital with a gunshot wound. He was arrested and remains in hospital while police await an update on his condition, the force added.

A police forensic tent remained outside the pub on Tuesday, with flowers left near the entrance.

A local resident said he heard three gunshots on Monday evening and saw someone run from the pub shouting: "Call the police."

The man, who asked not to be named, said he saw a moped and a white car drive away before officers arrived.

He added that women could be heard "screaming and crying" outside.

Det Ch Supt Emma Bond, central south borough commander, said: "We understand that this incident will cause concern within the local community, and an increased police presence will remain in the area throughout the day as our inquiries continue.

"Our thoughts remain with the victim's family for their tragic loss."

Police are asking anyone with any information that could help the investigation to come forward.
