Police have named a woman killed in a triple shooting outside a church in northwest London.

Residents described scenes of “pandemonium” after the attack in Gifford Road, Harlesden, at around 9.15pm on Saturday.
Police officers and London Ambulance Service crews rushed to the scene and found Ms Sadio. Despite the efforts of paramedics, she was pronounced dead at the scene.
Pastor Lawrence Larbie, from the River of Life Elim Pentecostal Church, said there was a wake going on inside the church when the attack happened.

There has to be more context. You don't get attacked specifically shot!! for no reason.. Either she was part of a gang, knew something or just involved this was targeted not some random attack use your brain people
You can purchase guns from the black market via telegram groups and Snapchat groups. Surprised how I know this and the police somehow don’t and do little to stop this. Kids being robbed on the way home from school at knife point, to stabbings and shootings daily, to phone snatchers, it’s just ridiculous. The same suspects all of the time too, no wonder more and more turn against them. Not always one of them but one of them.
Just part and parcel of living in a big city…eh Khan
So you’re telling me they can find people who post “hate speech” online but they can’t find a shooter in London where they have 942,000 cctv cameras. Can’t make it up.
I wonder if this will bring out the community to protest
Can’t take some Blacks anywhere. A drive-by at a church???
You can only get guns in the UK if you want to kill someone. Thats strange. Banning knives to stop stabbings. Do you think it will make any difference whatsoever. NO.
Same damographic again.
She was in the wrong place at the wrong time
Why didn’t God save this lady?
Was he too busy?
Someone pls enlighten me.
Why hasn’t this been on mainstream media l wonder how much more is hiding from the public
Why didn’t God save this lady?
Was he too busy?
Someone pls enlighten me.
Anybody going to take a knee for BLM? No? Thought not….
Mr Sheahan also gone in Mullingar.
Black culture in a nutshell.
Obviously the shooter has mental health issues
While racist sadiq is knighted
My thoughts go out to the family of this poor lady. 😢 rest in peace❤
It's just their culture.
Aren't we blessed eh?
When will you English white people stop blaming black people all the time with your snide rascist innuendos. We didn't create the Essex boys or there killers anymore than we created Mira Hindley or Peter Sutcliffe. Irrespective of colour creed or religion killers will be killers. So build a brick wall and get over it. Condolences to the family of the deceased.
Let's look at the crime statistics shall we…
One tenth of the population, but responsible for over half of the gun crimes..
Blm though…
So the slaughter on our, once safe streets, continues! Disgraceful state of affairs! 😡🇬🇧
I guess the shooters are black or arabs.
Please suprise me that it isnt
Do i get a prize for guessing their skin colour?
The question we all need to ask, in this day and age is,
Q1. WHAT PART HAS THE STATE PLAYED IN THIS.
Remember the Birmingham IRISH pub bombing designed to induce a hatred of the Irish.
Very very sad thinking of all who are suffering at this shocking and tragic time 💔
But according to Khan, London is perfectly safe.
40 or 46? So much miss information. Rip to the lady and condolences. Speedy recovery to all injured. Smh
3rd world shenanigans
Can someone tell the global majority that hand guns are banned in uk. Then can someone tell the libtards and media that they need to start noticing patterns?😂
Systemic racism or a 3rd world culture acting with impunity?
banning guns worked out
Mayor Khan is too busy claiming President Elect Donald Trump is "obsessed with him".
Why all these comments about race? In 1950 England begged for carribbeans to come to this country. Begged! You were on your knees. And people like my grandparents left their jobs, comfortable homes and great weather, for the promise of acceptance and the opportunity to increase their wealth whilst helping build up this country.
Fast forward 70 plus years and many of you act like you were doing us a favour. My family was wealthy before they came here and their friends were skilled workers. They came here and were subjected to poverty and could only get service jobs. Bus drivers, labourers, carers etc. In spite of being teachers, headmasters, police officers etc in their home countries.
I'm so tired of the troupe "Britain did you a favour," or "you ruined our country." Take a serious look at your history and get a grip of yourselves.
2 children lost there mum just before christmas i cant thin of anything worse ❤ RIP LADY ❤
I'm noticing a pattern here. What was the cause of this attack?? RIP but still another isolated incident involving a particular demographic.
RIP😔🙏🏻🕊🕯️✝️
Meanwhile sadiq Khan is up for getting knighted
Condolences to the family of this poor soul. With the benefit of the hindsight, I sincerely hope that lessons will be learned this time and gun safety laws will be reviewed thoroughly and vigorously to ensure that this doesn't occur again on UK soil. Prayers, vigils, resolve, oasis songs, and meaningful dialogue, not the usual lip service given by opportunistic career politicians or useless Mayors
THIS IS WHAT ITS LIKE UNDER THE WATCH OF “DAWN BUTLER” LOCAL MP. SHE PRESIDES OVER THIS DISGRACEFUL BOROUGH OF CRIME . I WISH MY VOTE COUKD MEAN SOMETHING BUT SHE HAS A BIG MAJORITY IF VOTES IN THIS BOROUGHS. THE PEOPLE WHO VOTED FOR HER NEED THEIR HEADS EXAMINING. TOP 3 WORST CRIME RATES IN LONDIN. GET RID OF DAWN BUTLER
The incident has the hallmarks of a gang shooting, why would criminals be shooting at a religious gathering.
If you watch the footage, there are a couple of men who run back along the pavement before the shooting starts, they obviously recognised what was about to happen.
Another day in London 🤦♂️🙄
Let me guess…🤔
Import the 3rd world, become the 3rd world.
black at it again
Nobody saw anything apparently and nobody wants to speak to the police. That’s why crime like this happens, they know they can get away with it.
