How a nine-year-old girl got caught up in a gangland shooting

The girl was eating ice cream in Dalston when she was hit by a stray bullet.

On a May evening in Dalston last year, a motorbike rider, unnoticed by passers-by, approached a busy restaurant, pulled out a gun, and opened fire. Customers dived for cover. Three men were struck by bullets.

But also in the restaurant was a nine-year-old girl, who was eating ice cream with her family, and was hit in the head by a stray bullet.

The gunman fled the scene and has never been found. The force is now offering up to £15,000 for information to help find him.

ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio London's Ross Ryan and Harry Low have the details.
