Horrible!

Sorry but what is so unusual about this story that needs to be posted here? I mean this happens all over the world every single hour that someone gets shot to death. This is unusual for London?

I was in Hackney just last week, ****. sad news, RIP.

That's horrible

It is for the UK, quite an irregular occurrence that a girl of 15 would be shot by 3 men. It's breaking news.

Other countries may see this as everyday life, but we don't over here.

Not to be insensitive, but are we going to open a thread every time somebody dies?

RIP.

Yeah it is super rare here, guns are hardly heard of at all.

I think the fact that this would be a brush-aside local news story here in America speaks to how rare gun deaths are in the UK.

I hope the UK doesn't end up like the US. RIP.

You can't compare European countries to a country where they can get guns in a supermarket.

When almost everybody has guns, it's much easier to grab it and use it in anger.

Therefore American cops are distrusting people and will shoot first with the same amount of bullets for arresting 1 unarmed man as all police officers in Germany would use in an entire year.

I had an interview in Hackney a couple years back.

Poor girl. Most shootings make the news here as they're quite rare.

RIP, thats so sad, hardly hear of gun deaths over here

The Americans thinking "this isn't news" just shows the problem with their gun laws.

!!

Yeah, our laws are pathetic.

Coming from one of the most liberal cities in the U.S., I definitely believe in Japanese-style gun control for the U.S. Unfortunately a lot of conservatives disagree and have prevented that from happening.

MTE

This. The UK ain't no Florida.
