PANIC as heavy gunfire heard near school in WESTMINSTER

A massive police operation is underway in Maida Hill, west London, after witnesses apparently heard bursts of gunfire with reports the gunman then fled to a nearby school.

Armed officers are searching the area around Kennet Road with the help of a police helicopter after receiving reports of gunshots. Pictures from the scene show part of the road outside the Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee School has been locked down by police.

The Twitter account The Real Maida Hill also said:

Locals also report that the gunman ran into the Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee School, #MaidaHill where the crime scene is currently in place.

Several reports now confirm that a #firearm has been discharged and the assailant has run into the #MaidaHill school.

“Armed police on the ground and helicopter in the skies.”

London news: Scene at Maida Hill

A spokesperson for the Police said:  “Officers with the support of the National Police Air Service are searching the area. The Met Police said officers have found evidence a gun had been fired. Enquiries continue.”

We cannot ascertain whether this is terror related but sadly in ‘gun-free’ London these incidents are becoming all too regular.
