A man in his twenties is fighting for his life after being shot in south London earlier today.

Police were called to reports of a shooting in Streatham at 2.10am.

But when officers – including police marksmen – arrived at the scene, there was no sign of the vitim or suspect.

A few minutes later a man with gunshot wounds was dropped off at a central London hospital.

He remains in a “critical” condition.

Officers from the Met’s Trident gang crime unit are investigating.

A Scotland Yard spokesman said: “Detectives are investigating a shooting in Streatham which has left a man in a critical condition.

“Police were called at 2.10am on Monday August 5 following reports of a man injured on Wellfield Road.

“Another man was reported to be in possession of an offensive weapon.
