Yes Indeed, That’s Why These Things Happen Here

Florence Eshalomi, Labour MP for Vauxhall and Camberwell Green, told BBC London she wanted people to feel safe within their community. "Stockwell is a vibrant, diverse, close-knit community. We are going to make sure that there is a visible police presence to reassure people," she said.

It's in such 'communities' that these things happen, Florence.  

A 16-year-old boy who died after being shot in south London has been named by the Metropolitan Police as Lathaniel Burrell. An eyewitness to the killing in Stockwell told the BBC the teenager was shot dead by a man dressed as a food delivery driver on a moped.

Lathaniel - who locals have said was a "very bright" school pupil - died on Paradise Road, near Stockwell Tube station, at about 14:30 GMT on Tuesday. The Met Police has called it an "enormously shocking incident".

Let's have a look at this bright lad whose death was so unexpected, shall we? 

 Oh...

The eyewitness said two boys came down the stairs at a block of flats when the moped rider took out a gun and fired, adding that the teenager who died was well known in the area and was involved in gangs. Police said inquiries were still ongoing, no arrests have been made, and detectives are keeping an open mind about the possible motive for the attack.

So open....
