I just heard this on the 9am news on radio 4.

[h3+]

I'm a bit in shock. I was out on Lordship lane last night and it was surprisingly quiet.

[sillywoman]

My daughter has just come down to tell me about this - she heard it on Capital Radio. I feel very upset this tragedy, both for the family of the young man, and for our community (which is generally such a lovely, safe place to live). So sad.:(

[MissDollyMixture]

how sad. my heart goes out to his family. hopefully more comes to light on the incidents leading up to the event.

[kylie6097]

my husband has just gone to the drs and has seen that there are men in white suits (crime scene people) outside mark and sons newsagents on grove vale. theres also police scattered all the way up the road up till sainsburys. the park and sainsburys are still shut.

[nanki1]

I just tried to go to sainsburys and its still closed, wondered what had happened when i saw all the police. This is awful news.

[PN33]

Yeah I live down there, it was all taped off last night around The Vale pub.... very sad

[JohnL]

homicide and serious crime investigating (no mention of trident).

[ryedalema]

Oh awful, awful - poor man and his family and friends.

Does anyone know what sort of time this happened? I was there with my two young girls early evening.

There but for the grace...

[EDOriginal2010]

So sad. I was on the 12.18 last night from LB and got off the train with a bunch of people. Will wander down to see if I can give any info.

[Ma]

Yet another life gone..so young. Condolences to his family. :(

[norman]

[bluesuperted]

Very sad indeed. We just moved to Nunhead from round the corner by Sainsburys and I always felt so safe. So sorry for this boy's family.

As has been said a million times before, it's as safe / unsafe as anywhere else. It's London for God's sake.

Sad news indeed.

Another man was shot in the same incident further up in the Sainsburys car park. He is alive according to the police who have the whole area cordoned off. They suspect gang activity.

[ratty]

Evidently someone shot in the car park also!

Just spoke to a bobby - Hamlets Car Park

As Keef says - ED is a nice place to live but it is in London and as in most places comparative wealth and comfort live cheek by jowel poverty, inequality and the resulting societal fractures.

Lets not paint ED as a war zone, but lets not over-romaniticise it either.

@ryedalema

Lucky escape, ryedalema. I was in an armoured vehicle travelling past ED station only yesterday morning. There but for the grace . . .

[Ladymuck]

Very, very tragic.

The families are going to receive one hell of a shock. My sympathies go out to them all.

I agree with Michael above. You know what I think, the climate is already sombre, very hard times scheduled ahead for most. With all these cuts to ALL Services, times are going to get harder,harsher, and crime WILL soar!

[Dulwicher]

What an absolute waste of a young life :'( I live around the corner from the station and can't believe that while I was asleep safely in bed, this young life was being destroyed just a few yards from home... I'm in shock

[kylie6097]

not sure if its linked but i now have a police cordon and the end of bromar road.

[Ladygooner]

Sainsburys now open but road still closed and no cars allowed out of Abbotswood Road

[Twirly]

So sad. Condolences to his family and loved ones.
