A 48-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life following a shooting in Woolwich. The 32-year-old victim remains in critical condition with life-threatening injuries after being shot in the head while in a parked car at the junction of Frances Street and Ogilby Street. Police responded to reports of gunfire shortly before 8.10pm on October 22 and found the man at the scene, where officers provided first aid until London's Air Ambulance and paramedics arrived. He was taken to an east London hospital, where he remains. Detectives believe the suspect fled in a dark-coloured saloon car towards Woolwich Church Street. Detective Chief Inspector Wayne Jolley of the Met’s Specialist Crime Command confirmed the arrest but said the investigation is ongoing, urging anyone with information to come forward.
