One man was killed and two others injured in a shooting on a busy north London road.

Four men have been arrested on suspicion of murder.

Police believe one person was shot as they rode a bike past the shooting

Police discovered the second victim when a 24-year-old man took himself to hospital with gunshot injuries, which are not thought to be life-threatening.

Officers were then called to a home in the Edmonton area when a man in his 30s reported he had been shot whilst in the Green Lanes area. He was taken to a hospital for treatment.

Police believe he was shot as he was riding a bike past the shooting.

Det Ch Insp Wayne Jolley said the victim's family had been left "traumatised" by his death.

He added: "Although four people have been arrested on suspicion of murder, I want the public to understand this is still very early in the investigation and I am sure further arrests will need to made.

"We need to take the gun and the gunman off the streets and I need the public's help to do that."
