Five-year-old shot by teens

A five-year-old girl in the United Kingdom was shot by bicycle riding teens.

She was an unfortunate victim of a squabble by two rival teen gangs.

The gang was in pursuit of a rival gang who ran into the store for cover, where the five-year-old was at.

Thusa Kamaleswaran was shot in the chest as one of the gang members fired a shot through the door of the food and wine store, reported The Sun.

Another innocent bystander, 35-year-old Roshan Selvakumar, was shot in the face.

The pair was taken to hospital for life-saving surgery.

Thusa had two operations and underwent a third.

Both victims were in a "critical but stable" condition.

The girl's uncle Vicknes Mahadevan said: "I was at the back of the shop, then heard something. I rushed out and could see the shooting.

"Thusa was hit on the right side of her chest. There was blood everywhere. She was flat on the floor. It was horrible."

A local businessman named Das said: "I went inside the shop and saw a little girl lying face down like she was asleep.

"There was a hole on the right side of her chest, up near her heart. The mum was crying and screaming."

The gun thugs fled on their bikes after the shootings in Stockwell, South London - chased by their intended victims.

A local man who gave his name as George said: "They looked like schoolkids and were only aged around 13 to 15."
