A man in his 40s received treatment for gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead in hospital, police said. The force added that inquiries were continuing to identify his next of kin. A woman in her 40s was treated by paramedics from the London ambulance service and the London air ambulance."
"We understand this is a deeply distressing incident for those involved, the witnesses in the park and the community in the surrounding area.
