Shots were fired in a wealthy district of London this afternoon just minutes after popstar Rita Ora had been visiting the area.

Armed police flooded Colville Square in upmarket Notting Hill after a suspected drive-by shooter fired through a window.

Singer Rita Ora narrowly missed being caught up in the chaos having been seen enjoying a drink in the area, as she took a break from working out at the members-only gym Bodyism shortly before.

It is understood nobody was hurt when a gunman, believed to be in a car, opened fire on a building around 2pm this afternoon.
