During the press conference, the Metropolitan Police assured residents in Ladbroke Grove that police would remain in the area while investigations into the shooting continue.

But some, like Sharon, whose testimony we reported earlier, still feel concerned about their safety.

One woman, who didn't want to be named, told the PA News Agency that she was "scared" after the shooting took place on Sunday.

She describes how she was cooking and thought fireworks were being let off, before she discovered what happened when armed police arrived.

Another local, Muraad Haab, did not see the attack, but said he'd seen three shootings since living there.

Long-time resident Lloyd Markham tells PA that the area had seemed like a "safe place to live" during the last 25 years he has spent there, but he says the news of the shooting concerns him.

"It's very sad. Why fire a gun with kids around? How can you do that to someone?" he adds.

Supt Renowden ends the press conference by appealing to the public for any information regarding the shooting.

"I want to appeal today to anyone with information that may assist to come forward," he says.

People with information are asked to call 101 and cite CAD number 5238, or to contact Crimestoppers anonymously.

Immediately following the incident, officers arrested a 22-year-old male on suspicion of attempted murder who remains in custody, Supt Renowden says.

The investigation is being led by specialist crime command, who he says are working closely with local officers to understand what happened.

Supt Renowden emphasises that any shooting will have a traumatic impact on the local community and says that police will continue to be present in the area.

Supt Renowden thanks members of the public who came to help.

Both the 34-year-old man has sustained potentially life-changing injuries and the girl remains in surgery - but is in a stable condition, Supt Renowden adds.

They located a 34-year-old man and eight-year-old girl with serious gunshot injuries.

There was also a two-year-old child and a woman in the vehicle who were unharmed.

A gunman was seen firing directly into a car on Southern Row by a woman who was in the area visiting her mother on Sunday evening.

Sharon told the PA News agency: "I was literally coming out of the exit to my mum's block of flats and as I was going out I saw a guy shooting into the car multiple times.

"He was firing directly, like at close range, as if you're standing to open a door, they were shooting directly in to it.

"I was in complete shock and I just ran back up the stairs because I was really scared. Then I looked and I heard screaming afterwards and then people coming out to call the police."

We'll have more details from the police update shortly, but here's a recap of what we know so far:

• When and where: An eight-year-old girl, a man and a woman were taken to hospital following the shooting on Southern Row in Ladbroke Grove at about 17:30 GMT on Sunday
• The victims: The girl is in a stable condition with non life-threatening injuries. The condition of the man, 34, is unknown. The 32-year-old woman was also taken to hospital as a precaution
• Quick arrival: The London Ambulance Service said it arrived within six minutes and treated two patients at the scene "before taking them to a major trauma centre as a priority"
• No arrests: Scotland Yard says there have been no arrests and inquiries are ongoing
• Appeal for information: Superintendent Owen Renowden said detectives wanted to hear from anyone with information about what happened, "no matter how insignificant"

Joe Powell, MP for Kensington and Bayswater, said he was "appalled by the shooting".

The Labour MP said: "These senseless acts of violence have no place on our streets.

"I know residents in the local community will be rightly concerned for their safety after several recent incidents in the neighbourhood.

"We must work together to better prevent these horrific crimes from happening, and hold those responsible to account."
