Shooting is 63rd London killing in 2018

A man was shot dead outside an Underground station in London’s 63rd suspected murder this year.

In a double shooting outside Queensbury Tube station, passers-by tried in vain to stem the flow of blood after the man was shot several times in the chest and stomach.

The victim, in his 30s, begged for help at a taxi rank after he and his friend were shot at around 9pm on Tuesday. A second man, aged in his 20s, is in a stable condition in hospital having taken a taxi to hospital so that paramedics could treat his friend, who died at the scene.
