Teenager killed in gangland shoot-out

As many as 15 shots were fired in a gangland battle that left a 19-year-old dead and two other teenagers injured.

Detectives believe four guns may have been fired in the shoot-out between rivals in Weybourne Way near Wembley last night.

The injured men were aged 18 and 19.

The shoot-out erupted at around 9.50pm as about 20 youths gathered outside flats at James Dudson Court.

Police were called by terrified neighbours who reported volleys of shots.

Officers found a man lying in the street with a gunshot wound to the chest. Ambulance crews treated him but he is believed to have been dead on arrival at hospital.

Police found the two other men, with bullet wounds to the leg, in a nearby flat.

Detectives from Operation Trident, which tackles black gun crime, are investigating. Officers say between 10 and 15 shots were fired by a variety of guns but gave no further details.

They said they were keeping an open mind about a possible motive.
