Apparently either in or just outside Bodi Salon, 489 Lordship Lane SE22, somebody was shot 3 times tonight between 1730 and 1800.


Armed police and ambulance in attendance but as the road has not been closed I don't think there are any fatalities.


A local shopkeeper saw the perpetrator running away ................


Horrible, horrible times but these incidents are becoming more and more frequent in every part of London, even East Dulwich.

I agree it's horrible. That said, they've always gone on in this area. It might be more true to say they're less frequent so we notice them more. Ten or fifteen years ago I remember several close together in Barry Road, Melbourne Grove, even Elfindale Road.
Chaps, this isn't the first time on here this has come up - the Capital report above is of what happened on Forest Hill last year. No reports anywhere of shootings today in our area, not saying it hasn't happened but no news of it on any outlet I can find!

"Apparently" .... So did this happen or not? strange, given no media coverage ...

Very surprised about lack of news reports. this is what I know happened.


I travelled by bus to Overhill Road going south on Lordship Lane about 6pm. Heard lots of sirens and saw several police cars travelling at speed which overtook bus.

Disembarked at Overhill Road bus stop and saw several police cars and an ambulance outside Bodi Salon. There was police blue tape cordoning off a rectangle outside the salon with several police talking to people inside the rectangle. An armed police officer was standing by his car on the road. There was just enough room to walk between the road and the police tape which I did and I visited Food and Wine (between Two Brothers and Bodi Salon). Made a purchase and the shopkeeper told me there had been a shooting at the Salon. On leaving the shop I spoke to another shopkeeper who I know personally and he told me somebody had been shot 3 times and the he had seen the perpetrator running away.

All of the above is what I know happened. I did not "actually" see the shooting.

Armed police, police tape and an ambulance would seem to suggest it was relatively severe?

For sure - perhaps something like an armed robbery, but it's easy when rumours are going round to quickly go from "the guy said he had a gun" to "the guy had a gun" to "the guy shot someone." Could be completely wrong but the lack of press coverage, even in the Standard and the Croydon Advertiser, does seem odd.

As Trident are involved we could assume that it was gang related so in answer to your questions, probably not a random pot shot and but probably was expecting it (although maybe not at that precise moment in time).

    • Bumpkin I’d say feed and clean.    The RSPB say garden birds are low risk for avian flu but take precautions and clean feeders and birdbaths regularly.    Birds will be starting to nest soon and food you put out can at least feed the parents so they can feed live food to the young who can’t take seed yet.    It’s reccomended to wear gloves and clean feeders/birdbaths with mild disinfectant weekly. 
    • We had a take-away from Aroma Lab last night. I was impressed, utterly delicious stir fried tofu and sweet and sour chicken. Generous portions too… will definitely make a habit of eating their home-cooked food. 
    • I think that's a big assumption.  Many people vote for the candidate precisely because they are a member of a particular party and represent that party's policiies.  I personally didn't know who McAsh was in the last election, but I knew what party he represented.  When politicians don't act "morally" what are we to think of them and their motivations? But I think there will be people who want to vote Labour, don't know that McAsh has defected and accidentally vote Green precisely because they do vote for the name.  Yes, you could say they need to read the ballot paper more carefully but it's possible to see one thing and not notice another.
