Besides all the knife murder going on in Britain, you still have teenagers getting shot and killed in a country that has banned and confiscated guns for law abiding British Citizens...
Teenager dies after being shot in south London street
A teenage boy has died after being found with a gunshot wound on a south London street.
The 17-year-old has been named by his mother as Rhyhiem Ainsworth Barton.
He was found ”suffering from a gunshot injury” in Southwark on Saturday evening, the Metropolitan Police said.
--------------
The use of blanket stop and search powers has risen four-fold after police vowed to target “freely available” weapons in London and the government’s first-ever Serious Violence Strategy has mounted a taskforce to collaborate on solutions.
A new Serious Violence Strategy released by the government last month warned social media was worsening gang crime and violence.
Statistics released earlier this month showed knife crime rose by 22 per cent across England and Wales and gun crime by 11 per cent in 2017.

The shooting comes amid a spate of deaths on the capital’s streets, which has seen more than 60 murders so far this year, amid a nationwide rise in violent crime.
