Hunt for man who shot baby

Police are today continuing their hunt for a gunman who shot an 18-month-old baby and two men in a suspected Yardie feud.

The baby girl was hit in the leg as a gunman ran up to the car she was in and fired 15 shots through the window.

Her 30-year-old father and his 35-year-old friend were also hit in the attack close to the notorious "murder mile" in Hackney.

A four-year-old girl also in the car escaped unharmed as the Citroen Picasso was riddled with bullets.

The baby's mother heard the shots and drove the bleeding victims to hospital on Monday evening.

All three were today said to be a stable condition in hospital.

Officers from Operation Trident, which investigates gun crime in the black community, have been drafted in to lead the hunt.

Police are keen to speak to anyone who may have seen the shooting or has any information on the incident. They should call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
