In a tweet, external she wrote: "It's been a bad night tonight, locally. Despite all our other challenges we can't lose sight of the need to rebuild both our Safer Neighbourhood police and the now almost non-existent prevention services to tackle serious youth violence. The alternative is worse."
On Sunday morning she added: "Tragically it has now been confirmed that, amongst other disturbances last night, a young man was killed in W9. Utterly devastating."
