Amhurst Road and Hackney Downs drive-by shootings

This time not quite Stoke Newington but on the borders of it. I sometimes feel like I am living near a project in LA. I am just waiting for Puff Daddy to pop up alongside the ghost of Tupak Shakur (above).

Two shootings confusingly close in venue and description. Basically I am not sure if the papers are really reporting the same incident. Either way the son of a local footballer ended up very unwell in the Royal London after being shot in the head.

Here are what the papers had to say.

The Daily mail on the Amhurst Road shooting
The hackney Gazette on the shooting in Amhurst Road. Though the Peterborough Today says it happened on Down's Park road.
