A man has died in hospital after being shot in the head in north London.

The victim, believed to be in his twenties, was found in the street with a head wound after officers were called to reports of a shooting in Hertford Road, Enfield.

He was rushed to hospital after police attended the scene, shortly after 4.30pm on Thursday.

Scotland Yard has since confirmed he died while in care.

A spokeswoman told the Standard officers remain on the scene as investigations are underway.
