The heartbroken sister of a mother tragically gunned down in a triple shooting has spoken out as Metropolitan Police intensify their search for the killer.
In an emotional statement, the grieving relative described her sister as "a beautiful soul who lived for her children", while detectives revealed they are following several active lines of enquiry.
Horrific Attack Leaves Community in Shock
The shooting occurred in broad daylight, sending shockwaves through the local neighbourhood. Emergency services rushed to the scene but despite their efforts, three victims - including the young mother - couldn't be saved.
Detective Chief Inspector Sarah Jones told reporters: "This was a callous attack that has devastated multiple families. We're appealing to anyone with information to come forward immediately."
Police Launch Murder Investigation
Forensic teams have been combing the area for evidence as officers conduct door-to-door enquiries. Police have confirmed they're treating all three deaths as murder.
Local resident Mark Williams described hearing "what sounded like fireworks" before seeing people running in panic. "It's normally so quiet round here - I can't believe this has happened," he said.
Family's Emotional Tribute
The victim's sister fought back tears as she remembered her sibling: "She was the kindest person you could meet - always putting others first. Those children have lost the most wonderful mum."
A dedicated family liaison officer is supporting the bereaved relatives as the investigation continues. Police have urged witnesses or anyone with dashcam footage to contact them urgently.
