Four shot in Brixton drive-by attack; one critical

In the small hours of a Saturday morning in Brixton, a vehicle paused long enough for someone to fire into a crowd of people gathered for a party, then disappeared into the night. Four people were wounded on Coldharbour Lane — one of them, a young man of 25, left fighting for his life. What unsettles investigators and community alike is not merely the violence, but its apparent indifference: the shots were not aimed at anyone in particular, but at everyone at once. The search for those responsible continues, as a neighbourhood reckons with the fragility of ordinary life.
