So far ITV saying "one dead, one injured. Armed police hunt, funeral was being held at Camberwell cemetery of boy killed in car crash, 6 shots fired"

Very Sad.

what's the difference between 'dead' and 'fatal'?

[JohnBoy93]

.

[JohnBoy93]

thast what the news "quoted" "one dead and one fatal"

[the-e-dealer]

this is a horrible thing to happen in East Dulwich especially after the wonderful commuinty events at Haloween. whats the Govv doing ? Cutting youth expenditure

[spanglysteve]

Please do not turn this into political point scoring. Gang culture is sadly a part of our community and the presence of a conexions centre sadly would not have prevented this.

This saddens me deeply, the herne is my local.

[The Minkey]

The difference between dead and fatal? Hmm - at a guess I'd say that fatal means an accident/injury (whatever) which leads to death, so one could have a fatal injury yet still be alive (for a while).

Bloody awful thing to happen.

[EDmummy]

How awful for all the families involved. My thoughts go out to them.

Mention of 'Trident' and 'gang culture' are ridiculous at this stage unless you have verified information (which you may well have). What I see is a very sad incident for many people who knew the young person who died in an accident and the poor souls who lost their life commemorating his passing.

[the-e-dealer]

Fataly wounded would mean you are going to die. Dead means you are already dead. What a Horrible Question

[the-e-dealer]

So Blinkers on Govt Expenditure is not cut and Govt can have no effect

[toast]

I drove past the funeral as it started, so many young people, all carrying flowers.it was very touching. When driving back it was all police cars and people in shock. My sympathies to all the families concerned.

[David A]

I was stopped on the corner of CPR and EDR for the cortege on my way to the ED gym at 2.30 and it was more than a little noticeable that there was something going on. 15 to 20 cars minimum, some overtaking the cortege. As a journalist I'd like to believe I'm as liberal as you are but 'Trident' will be involved.

[ratty]

Fucking disgusting to attack a mass of people that are grieving.

[Earl Aelfheah]

Just too, too sad and depressing. Something has to be done to tackle our gang problem. But what? I just hope that someone has an answer, because I cannot even begin to comprehend the mentality of these criminals.

And to think you were trying a joke.

This is horrible, only just heard about it on the news.

[Marmora Man]

The police helicopter was in the air well before the incident - perhaps an indication that some of those attending the funeral were under surveillance.

[jimmyay]

these people are animals . wrecking the peace of our city. it's a blight. what on earth is wrong with them.

[Eliza.D]

This is all so sad.

My deepest sympathy to the Family of the young person who has had their life cut short.

I am sure that the Police have a handle on this and that in the not to distant future the person/people responsible will be caught. Sadder still is this will not be the last senseless murder of a young person unless there is a Will (and resourses) to deal with all the underlying reasons why this is continuing to happen.

Our young people deserve better. No child is born bad or delinquent. So why are we(govt)allowing this to happenen?

I don't think it was a joke, it was a good guess. The vast majority of gun incidents in London probably are gang-related.
