Officers were called to the junction of Forest Hill Road and Rockells Place after 3pm on Thursday.

The owner of The Rose pub in Forest Hill Road heard the shots from his office.

Ian Moss, 56, said: “I thought it was fireworks, but it turned out to be three gunshots.”

“People were just leaving the funeral,” he said. “There were a lot of people in the street, maybe 50-100.”
