Woman killed named as Michelle Sadio

A woman who was fatally shot in a triple shooting outside a church in north-west London on Saturday evening has been named by the Met Police as Michelle Sadio.

The 46-year-old died at the scene after being found with serious injuries when officers were called out to reports of shots being fired at about 21:15 GMT in Gifford Road, Harlesden.

Two men in their 30s sustained serious injuries – one of them remains in a critical condition.

There have been no arrests so far.

Ms Sadio has not yet been formally identified but the Met has said it is confident about her identity.

Her family are being supported by specialist officers, the force said.

The BBC understands the shooting happened after a gathering at the River of Life Elim Pentecostal Church on Gifford Road.

The building and surrounding area remains cordoned off as police investigations continue.

One local resident have told the BBC the sound of “people screaming” could be heard coming from the direction of the church.

Others said they heard what they thought were fireworks being let off as the incident unfolded.

One resident said he heard five gunshots in a row.

The Met’s Supt Tony Josephs described the shooting as “truly shocking”.

He added that it was likely to cause concern in the local area and said he hoped witnesses would come forward.

“I want to reassure people that a team of experienced detectives are already working at pace to piece together the events of last night and identify whoever was responsible for this heinous act of violence,” he said.
