Police are appealing for witnesses this-morning to a shooting in London’s East End.

A man was found in the street with several gunshot wounds. He was taken by ambulance to hospital and is said to be in a critical condition this-morning.
Detectives have been carrying out door-to-door inquiries in the neighbourhood.
