Two men have died after a shooting in south London.
Police received reports of shots fired in Railton Road, Brixton, at around 7.50pm on Sunday.
Armed officers went to the scene, along with ambulance crews, and found two injured men.
Both were pronounced dead at the scene. The Metropolitan Police said no arrests had been made.
A badly damaged car was photographed at the scene, while a witness told Sky News they saw emergency services performing CPR on a person on the ground.

A spokesman for the Met Police said the nature of the victims’ injuries has not been confirmed at this time.
However, a police officer near the scene confirmed to Sky News that someone had been shot.
Sebastian Morrison, who lives nearby, told local news site MyLondon that residents had reported hearing 12 shots and “fire being exchanged between a couple on a moped and people in a car”.
The victims have not been formally identified and their next of kin have not yet been informed, the Met Police said.
Post-mortem examinations will be carried out in due course, the force added.
Several roads in the area are closed and there are crime scenes.
Residents have said they will see an increased police presence in the area and have been urged to speak to officers if they have information about the incident.
The shooting comes just days after two men were shot dead in east London, and a third was seriously injured.
Saydi Abu Sheikh, 23, and Zakariya Jeilani Mohamed, 32, died of gunshot wounds at the scene in Ilford in the early hours of Tuesday.
A third man, aged in his 30s, was taken to hospital in a life-threatening condition, the Met Police said.
There is no suggestion that the two shooting incidents are connected.
