A man has been charged with two counts of attempted murder after an eight-year-old girl and her father were injured in a shooting.

Jazz Reid, 32, of Kensington, west London, was also charged with possession of a firearm and ammunition and a court official confirmed he will appear at the Old Bailey on December 20.

The child was injured along with her 34-year-old father after a gunman opened fire into their car in Southern Row, Ladbroke Grove, west London, at around 5.30pm on Sunday.

The girl had surgery on Monday and was said to be in a stable condition, while her father has been left with potentially life-changing injuries.

The pair were with her two-year-old sibling and 32-year-old mother, who were both unhurt, at the time of the attack.

Detectives from the Met’s Specialist Crime Command are leading the investigation and continue to ask anyone with information that may assist to come forward.
