THIS is the chilling moment a car pulls up before a gunman inside opens fire on a large group, leaving a mother dead.

In video obtained by the Sun, seven gunshots can be heard ringing out on a tight residential street before the vehicle speeds into the distance.

The desperate screams of a woman could be heard as people scattered in an attempt to find cover from the attack.

The black motor creeps around the corner and hones in on the victims, who had been attending a wake in the church opposite.

In a matter of just seconds a mum in her 40s was left dead and two men, in their 30s were left seriously hurt from the salvo.

The attack happened outside the River of Life Elim Pentecostal Church at 9.15pm on Saturday.

‘BRILLIANT WOMAN’

The mum, described by a pal as a “brilliant woman”, was hit and died at the scene in front of weeping onlookers.

The pal said: “She was a light in all of our lives. She adored her children and worked hard to give them a happy life.

“She didn’t deserve this. No one does.”

Hours after the shooting a distraught relative arrived at the scene and was heard screaming: “tell me this isn’t real” before being consoled by cops.

Pastor Lawrence Larbie said those injured were visiting on Saturday for the wake of an elderly member of the church.

He said: “There was chaos and pandemonium. The meeting came to an abrupt end. People knew the persons who had been shot.”

He added: “They came with very deadly, evil intentions to cause death.”

A neighbour said: “People came out of the church, they were at a wake and they saw the bodies on the ground.

“I heard a lot of crying and screaming.”

Another fearful resident, 50, said: “I just hope whoever was killed was innocent and this doesn’t become a back and forth situation.”

A resident who lives nearby and did not wish to be named, said they heard five gunshots fired in a row.

Another terrified local said her daughter got home just minutes before the horror.

She said: “My daughter came though the door 10 minutes before it happened.

“My son thought there were fireworks, then I heard my neighbour screaming and I realised there was a shooting.

“It’s crazy, it’s sad. It’s scary, it does not feel safe.

“I’ve lived here since 2008 and I’ve never heard anything like this before.”

Forensics officers were seen combing the scene and checking under cars yesterday and a white and yellow evidence tent was seen in the road.

A Metropolitan Police spokesman said there has been no arrest and enquiries into the circumstances continue.

Superintendent Tony Josephs said: “This is a truly shocking incident that has left a woman dead and two others injured, and I understand the concern this will cause the local community and those across London.

“I want to reassure people that a team of experienced detectives are already working at pace to piece together the events of last night and identify whoever was responsible for this heinous act of violence.

“If you were in or around Gifford Road at the time of the shooting, or have any information about who was responsible, please get in contact with us.

“A family has been left devastated and we need to work together to provide them with answers.”

Video from the scene on Sunday morning show road closures still in place as forensics continue to comb the scene.

Police vans and officers also remain on the street.

Anyone with information that could assist police is asked to call 101 quoting CAD7137/14Dec.

You can also provide information anonymously to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
