A spokesperson for the Metropolitan Police said:

‘Police were called at approximately 03:55hrs on Saturday, 9 February to reports of a male seen in possession of a firearm in the vicinity of Lewisham Road, SE13.

The caller also raised concerns for the welfare of a woman at an address in Lewisham Road.

Officers, including armed officers, attended the scene and stopped a vehicle near to the junction with Blackheath Hill.

A police firearm was discharged.

One man, believed aged in his 20s, was taken to a south hospital suffering a gunshot injury.

His condition is not life-threatening. He has been arrested.

A further six males have been arrested; five for false imprisonment and one for possession of an offensive weapon.

Enquiries into the circumstances remain ongoing.

Road closures remain in place around the scene, which is on the border of Greenwich and Lewisham boroughs.

The Directorate of Professional Standards and the Independent Office for Police Conduct have been informed’.

Before you go...

WE NEED YOUR HELP.Here at Emergency Services News, we aim to tell you stories that the mainstream media are not interested in reporting. Whilst the MSM love to berate and ridicule the emergency services, who is there to report on the realities of serving on the front line?

Emergency Services News is currently a loss-making entity. But our team of volunteers, all former emergency services personnel, do not do it for the money.

We do it because we are sick and tired of the mainstream media constantly trying to undermine the men and women who put their lives on the line to keep you and your family safe.

How many MSM journalists who speak ill of the emergency services have actually dared to don the uniform and risk their own lives to save the life of a complete stranger? If you would like to help back our mission of reporting on fact-based news, then please consider helping to support us financially.

You can support emergency services news from as little as £1. It only takes a minute. Every contribution, however big or small, is vital for our future.

Please help us to continue to highlight the life-saving work of the emergency services, NHS and armed forces by becoming a supporter.
