How a nine-year-old girl got caught up in a gangland shooting

The girl was eating ice cream in Dalston when she was hit by a stray bullet.

On a May evening in Dalston last year, a motorbike rider, unnoticed by passers-by, approached a busy restaurant, pulled out a gun, and opened fire. Customers dived for cover. Three men were struck by bullets.

But also in the restaurant was a nine-year-old girl, who was eating ice cream with her family, and was hit in the head by a stray bullet.

The gunman fled the scene and has never been found. The force is now offering up to 拢15,000 for information to help find him.

麻豆社 Radio London's Ross Ryan and Harry Low have the details.
