A man who was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder over the shooting of an eight-year-old girl and her father in west London has been released on bail.

The pair, who were shot in a car on Southern Row in Ladbroke Grove on Sunday at about 17:30 GMT, remain in hospital.

The girl’s injuries were not life-threatening but her father, aged 34, suffered potentially life-changing injuries, police said. The girl's two-year-old sibling and their mother, 32, were also in the car but were unharmed.

The 22-year-old arrested on Sunday has been bailed until February pending further inquiries, the Metropolitan Police said.
