Two men have died in an apparent drive-by shooting this evening as police tonight launch a manhunt for the killer.
Cops were called just before 8pm after reports of gunshots were heard in Brixton, south London.
Officers, including firearms specialists, are still in attendance along with the London Ambulance Service and London’s Air Ambulance.
Despite the efforts of emergency services, both men were pronounced dead at the scene by medics.
Local residents have described 12 shots being fired between "a pair on a moped and people in a car" just before 8pm earlier this evening.
The victims have not been named, as their next of kin are yet to be informed.
Police confirmed in a statement that no arrests have yet been made as they appeal for anyone with information to come forward.
A resident told MyLondon that a car has been crashed within the crime scene.
Local resident Sebastian Morrison said: "I came across the scene when I went to the shop so I'm not a direct witness. I spoke to a few locals who did hear and see some of it.
"Shots were heard and a policewoman at scene told me it was a shooting. 12 shots were heard by locals, fire exchanged between a pair on a moped and people in a car. The car is crashed at the scene."
