Euston shooting

On 14 January 2023, a drive-by mass shooting was committed in Euston Road, Central London, England. The attacker used a shotgun outside of St Aloysius Roman Catholic church, as a memorial service was ending. Six people were injured, four women (aged 21, 41, 48 and 54) and two girls (aged 7 and 12).

The memorial service was for Fresia Calderon and her daughter Sara Sanchez who died separately from natural causes in November 2022.

No-one was killed, but the 7-year-old girl has been reported to have had a life-threatening injury from the event. On 15 January, shortly before 4pm, the Metropolitan Police arrested a 22-year-old man in Barnet on suspicion of attempted murder. 

On 15 March, two men were charged in connection with the shooting.

 Reactions 
Opposition leader Sir Keir Starmer (the MP for the area) called for tighter restrictions on who can own pump-action shotguns.
