From: "Earl W", [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2 men shot in Peckham 4am Monday 29 Jan - It's on the news but not on the BBC web site yet..Hmmmm & not on the BBC news either..HMMMMMM!!!! The details are 2 men shot in the head by a "gang" of others 1 was DOA to hospital the other is critical, the man who died was shot twice in the head , yet again on Peckham High Street. (the other hot spot for executions is Coldharbour Lane, by Loughborough Junction Train Station 3-4 executions there last yearon that one strip of road & a body on the back seat of a car, on a corner of the road (I drove past the Forensics team coming & going) --- Here's the shooting I missed driving into by about 2 mins last year in Peckham (would have been in the middle of it if a friend hadn't called me back as I was leaving) It would have been a good move if the Police car that cut me up to block the road had asked if I had any "first aid training" The things they neglect to mention was there were 2 Drug dealers who went to kill a rival, each carried an Ingram Mac 11 (according to other reports) & at least 3 magazines were emptied into a crowd of more than 10 people who were standing in the same queue as the rival drug dealer outside Chicago's Night Club. Ie. they "sprayed the crowd" to get 1 person When I saw it on the news 2 bulletins on the bbc & itv their reporters "couldn't be bothered" according to the expressions on both of their faces!!! An attempted mass murder & the news reporters were bored! Maybe if one of the Attempted murderers had once held a FAC....... EW http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/uk/newsid_859000/859574.stm Monday, 31 July, 2000, 12:52 GMT 13:52 UK Nine injured in 'Yardie' shooting The area around the club is dubbed the "front line" by some locals Nine people have been hurt after a gunman opened fire outside a nightclub in what detectives believe may have been a Yardie incident involving Caribbean gangsters. A 16-year-old girl was amongst those injured when the man fired shots from an automatic weapon outside the Chicago's nightclub in Peckham High Street, south east London. The most seriously hurt was a man who suffered two chest wounds. Four women were also caught in the attack and all received hospital treatment. One woman had been shot through the arm...the other in the leg Anonymous eyewitness The incident took place at 0250BST as people queued outside the nightclub for a Jamaican sound system night. An eyewitness queuing outside the club said: "I heard the gunshot and ran away to hide and when I came out there were two women on the floor screaming. "One woman had been shot through the arm and it looked like it had gone straight through and hit her side. The other woman had been shot in the leg." 'Innocent people' Metropolitan police from Operation Trident, which tackles Yardie crimes, are investigating the attack. Detective Superintendent Peter Camilletti is appealing for witnesses. He said: "There are some innocent people caught up in the shooting. A motorist was treated for shock after seeing the attack "We do not yet know what the motive was for it. We have very few witnesses to this at the moment so we are appealing to witnesses and anyone who can tell us what happened." He said the weapon appeared to have been an automatic gun, based on cartridges found on the street. A Peckham resident, who did not want to be named, said: "This area of High Street, where the club is, is known locally as the front line because this is the point people come to if they want to meet drug dealers who deal in crack and heroin." He added: "Softer drugs are available elsewhere but this is here you get hard drugs." Footage from CCTV cameras positioned outside the club will be examined by police and an incident room has been set up in Peckham. Anyone with any information is being asked to call police in confidence on 020 8778 2375 or Crime Stoppers on 0800 555111.
