Man 'Seriously Injured' After Being Shot by Police

A man in his 30s was left with life-threatening injuries, and no arrests have been made as police search for the shooter.

  • A man in his 30s was shot multiple times near the Royal Artillery Barracks in Woolwich on Thursday, October 22, with armed police responding to reports of gunshots just after 8pm.
  • The Royal Artillery Barracks accommodates up to 700 men and originally housed the Royal Artillery from 1776 until 2007; the Ministry of Defence plans closure by 2028 after deeming it surplus.

  • No arrests have been made and a manhunt has been launched for the shooter, with the victim remaining under police guard at an east London hospital with life-threatening injuries.
  • Anyone with information is urged to contact police on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111, while the Ministry of Defence has been approached for comment.
