Teenage girl shot dead in Tottenham, north London

This is number 47 of the year, most have been stabbings but there seems to be a growing use of guns.
As I work in Enfield I hear a lot about this, crime and gangs and there's a genuine fear among those who work with young people that it's close to becoming out of control, especially as so much is not reported in the media.
Last week there was a little in the news about "county/ city lines " where young people, many not known to the police, are sent outside of London to deliver drugs and collect money. This is a huge issue that has received very little coverage. Check out the metropolitan police missing persons website, see how young the kids are in it, and from personal experience I can say that most of them are being used for this. It's frightening stuff.
