A 42-year-old woman killed in an East London shooting has been named and pictured for the first time. Lianne Gordon was shot dead in Vine Close, Hackney while protecting someone, nearby residents claim. The shooting happened at about 6.30pm on Tuesday (December 5) as neighbours heard "four of five gunshots" as emergency services rushed to the scene. Lianne sadly died at the scene, police have confirmed. Two other people, a 20-year-old man and a 16-year-old boy, suffered injuries in the attack and were taken to hospital. The Met says their wounds are "non-life threatening". Flowers have been left at the scene in Vine Close, with a tribute calling the victim "a beautiful soul" that has "gone too soon".
