London bloodbath: Man, 22, shot dead in Tottenham Cemetery – police launch murder probe
A 22-YEAR-OLD man has been shot dead at Tottenham Cemetery in north London as a wave of violent crime continues to sweep the capital.
The man, who has not been named, was gunned down at the cemetery on White Hart Lane in N17 shortly before 8am.
Armed police officers, a police helicopter and paramedics from London Ambulance Service were scrambled to the scene of the attack.
However, the victim could not be saved and was pronounced dead at the scene.
Scotland Yard's Homicide and Major Crime Command has launched a murder investigation following this morning's shooting.
No one has yet been arrested in connection with the attack, and police are unsure of the motive behind the shooting.
A spokesman for the Metropolitan Police said: "Police were called to Tottenham Cemetery in N17 at 07:53am today.
"Armed officers, the National Police Air Service (NPAS) and London Ambulance Service (LAS) attended the scene.
"They found a 22-year-old man suffering from gunshot wounds. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
"We sent an incident response officer, an advanced paramedic, two single responders in cars and an ambulance crew.
"Sadly, despite our efforts, a person died at the scene."
More than 100 people have been killed in London so far this year, heaping pressure on politicians to tackle the crime wave.
