Three shootings at London clubs | |
(about 5 hours later) | |
One man has been killed and another two seriously hurt in separate shootings in or near London clubs over the weekend. | |
Daniel Ross, 22, was in the Scala nightclub, King's Cross, when shots were fired in the early hours of Sunday. He died later in hospital. | |
His death is being investigated by Operation Trident, which specialises in shootings within the black community. | |
Two men survived a shooting outside the Fridge club in Brixton in the early hours of Monday. | |
Daniel's family are understandably distraught and very confused as to why their son was killed Det Ch Insp Fiona Mallon | |
Mr Ross is thought to have been on or near the dance floor on the middle floor of the club when he was shot. | |
The club's lights went on and the 850 to 1,000 people in the club at the time spilled out of the club through fire exits. | |
Scala attracts people from all over the country, and police want to speak to anyone who was inside and saw what happened. | |
Det Ch Insp Fiona Mallon, from Operation Trident, said: "Daniel's family are understandably distraught and very confused as to why their son was killed. | |
"I would ask anyone with information or who was in the club at the time to contact us." | |
She also asked anyone working in the club that night to get in touch in confidence. | |
Police said it was a rare occurrence as they work closely with the club on its licensing and security. | |
The victims of the shooting on Brixton Hill were found outside the Fridge shortly before 0500 BST on Monday, and were treated at the scene. | |
Both were taken to an unnamed hospital, where they were said to be in a serious but stable condition. | |
Six weeks ago Sharif Zaiden, 18, from Ladbroke Grove, was shot dead on the dance floor at the nearby Egg club in King's Cross. |
