A man has died and a woman is in a critical condition after a double-shooting during rush-hour in London.

Officers were called to a shooting in Lordship Lane, Wood Green, in the north of the city at about 17:45 BST.

An air ambulance crew treated the man at the scene but he was declared dead at about 19:00 BST. The woman has been taken to a hospital in east London.

No arrests have been made and Lordship Lane has been closed between Winkfield Road and Perth Road.

The male victim has yet to be officially identified and police were working with the family to inform relatives, Scotland Yard said.

A spokesman said the woman was believed to be in a critical but stable condition.
