Social media influencer Lola Doll has bravely spoken out after surviving a terrifying shooting in broad daylight in North London, an attack she believes was a deliberate ambush.
The 26-year-old content creator was walking near her home in the Muswell Hill area when she was approached by an assailant. In a shocking and targeted act of violence, a single shot was fired, striking her in the leg before the gunman fled the scene.
'I genuinely thought I was going to die,' Lola confessed, describing the moments of sheer panic and confusion. 'It was so quick, so loud. I didn't even process what was happening until I felt the pain and saw the blood.'
Bleeding profusely, the influencer managed to call for help. She was rushed to a nearby hospital where she underwent emergency surgery. Doctors confirmed the bullet narrowly missed major arteries, a stroke of luck that likely saved her life.
A Community in Shock
The attack has sent ripples of fear through the normally quiet neighbourhood. Local residents have expressed their alarm at such a violent incident occurring on their doorstep. Metropolitan Police have launched a full-scale investigation, cordoning off the area for forensic analysis.
Detective Chief Inspector Sarah Jenkins, leading the inquiry, stated: 'This was a horrific attack on a young woman. We are pursuing several lines of enquiry and are appealing to anyone with information, or any motorists with dashcam footage from the area, to come forward immediately.'
Motive Remains a Mystery
While the investigation is in its early stages, police are exploring all possibilities. The targeted nature of the assault has led to speculation about the motive. Lola Doll, who boasts a significant following online, has no known public disputes or affiliations that would explain the attack.
In a heartfelt statement from her hospital bed, Lola thanked her fans and the medical staff for their support. 'I'm just focusing on recovering now. This has been the most traumatic experience of my life, and I'm so grateful to be alive.'
The incident has sparked a wider conversation about the safety of public figures and influencers, highlighting the potential dangers that can come with online fame.
