 |  |  |  | Quote: Five men have been injured in a multiple shooting in south London which the Metropolitan Police believe was a "pre-planned attack".
Officers found four men with bullet wounds after being called to St James's Crescent, Brixton, on Friday night.
Another man attended a south London hospital later. All five, aged 16, 21, 22, 23 and 24, suffered non-life-threatening injuries, police said.
No-one has been arrested over the shooting.
Det Cons Deryck Greer said: "This was an apparently pre-planned attack that left five young men in hospital and I would appeal for anyone with information to make contact with police at the earliest opportunity."
Two of the victims, aged 23 and 24, remain in hospital in a stable condition. The others have been treated and discharged. |  |  |  |  |

I thought that you promised not to do them any more. Even if they were PC World staff you should not do that.

It is Tottenham that you have to watch out for nowadays. Brixton during the day is as safe as anywhere in London, gets a little edgier after dark.

What does "pre-planned" actually mean?
"Hey, guys! I'm up for some planning."
"Uh-huh."

Is it like pre owned? You buy the plans from someone?

Pre-owned is an Americanism for used or secondhand. Pre-prefixing is pre-becoming a pre-disease, and it's pre-annoying me pre-now.

Cos somehow it sounds a bit official, like something the council dreamed up

As if a council can organise that. Some of the council workers I have met could not organise a piss up in a brewery if they were locked in a brewery with instructions on how to do it.
