Operation Trident is investigating a double shooting at a party in Wembley on Sunday night.

Nearly 200 people were present at the private barbecue in Blenheim gardens around 4am when a man and a woman were blasted as the party wound up.

Serious condition

Both are in a serious but stable condition in a west London hospital. The man, in his twenties, arrived at the hospital whereas cops were called out to the house when they found the 30 something woman suffering from a single gun shot wound.

Detective Inspector Michael Millar, of Operation Trident, said:

"We believe that during the evening more than 200 people attended the address. We are very keen to speak to anyone who attended the party as they may have vital evidence as to what transpired in the early hours of Monday morning which left two people with gun shot wounds."
