A seven-year-old girl was “severely injured” by pellets fired from a black Toyota in London, UK, police said.
A memorial service was taking place at St. Aloysius Church in Euston for a young woman and her mother, who died of natural causes.
Police then believe a black Toyota drove past the restroom where, from an open window, a gunman fired multiple shots into the crowd before driving off. Four women and two children were injured in the attack, with the youngest left in a life-threatening condition.

She remains in hospital in a stable but life-threatening condition, and our thoughts are with her and her family.”

The shooting could have ties to Colombian drug trafficking, as the requiem mass was for Freisa Calderón, ex-wife of Carlos Arturo Sánchez-Coronado, a money launderer for a London drug gang linked to Colombia’s Cali cartel.
Police announced early Monday that they had arrested a man on suspicion of attempted murder in connection with the shooting.
