A nine-year-old girl is in a critical condition after being the “innocent victim” of a shooting in Hackney, east London.
The child was inside a restaurant having dinner with her family when a firearm was discharged from a motorbike outside, police said.
Three men, aged 26, 37 and 42, who were sitting outside the restaurant, were also injured and taken to hospital for treatment.
Their conditions are stable but one potentially faces life-changing injuries.
Police were called to the scene on Kingsland High Street at around 9.20pm on Wednesday, with specialist firearms officers attending.
