A 73-year-old pensioner was among three women shot by a drive-by gunman who fired several rounds into a BBQ party in north London last night.
Witnesses saw a car speed through Clarence Gardens in Camden at around 10.10pm before someone in the vehicle fired "five or six" shots through the window from an automatic weapon.
The elderly woman is said to have been hit by a stray bullet after asking neighbours to turn down their music.
One resident told The Sun they heard several shots that "sounded like fireworks" before "lots of screaming" broke out.
“All hell broke loose, there were people running in every direction", they said.

Another man, who the witness saw bleeding from his hand, jumped in a vehicle after the shooting.
"I saw one man run around the block and get into his car, his hand was bleeding and I think he had been shot", they said..
Another injured woman was screaming on the floor, another resident added.
“Some people were trying to help her, she was bleeding a lot, she was laying on the floor by the ping pong table", they said.
A friend said the pensioner was caught in the crossfire after coming on to her balcony to tell neighbours to stop "making such a racket".
They are "worried about her" after not hearing anything about her condition since last night, the Sun reports.
The other victims included a 19-year-old woman; a 17-year-old girl; a 28-year-old man and the pensioner.
Paramedics took two of the women to hospital while a woman and a man took themselves to A&E.
Video posted online shows a woman on her side on the floor as she is comforted by a group of people, including a man who tells her: "The most important thing is you're all right."
Another adds: "Stay calm."
The woman lay on her left side as someone appears to press their hand against her lower back or right hip.
Two injured women were treated at the scene and then taken to hospital, and a man and a female later went to hospital on their own, all with suspected gunshot wounds.
The shooting is not being treated as terror related, and a Section 60 order, giving police greater stop and search orders, was issued until 7am on Sunday.
Forensics officers carried out an investigation at the scene and a police cordon remained in place on Sunday morning.
