Around 10pm last night, we heard reports that gunshots had been heard by the large Sainsbury’s store in Brixton, opposite the Hootananny venue on Brixton Water Lane.
Brixton Water Lane has now been closed in both directions between A23 Brixton Hill and A204 Tulse Hill while forensic officers scour the scene.
A Metropolitan Police spokesperson said:
Police were called to Tulse Hill, SW2, shortly before 22.00hrs on Monday, 20 May to reports of shots fired.
“Officers attended. Evidence of a firearm being discharged was discovered at the scene near to a supermarket, where a window was smashed.
