Shooting in Kilburn


Police limit access: Brondesbury station to Gascony Ave/Willesden Road, Kilburn High Road.
Today in the early hours of this morning in Kilburn, North West London, one woman- Sabrina Moss was shot dead by Brondesbury Station. Her friend was also shot is still in hospital after they were out for the evening celebrating her 24th Birthday.
A man has recently been arrested.
The Guardian has talked of the rise in gang violence, but this hasn't been discussed by police at this time. Police have said these two ladies were possibly innocent victims in the "wrong place at the wrong time" when two men approached them on the High Road from Messina Avenue, which is also closed to traffic and pedestrians.

Shocking and very unusual Kilburn is ordinarily a great multi-cultural melting pot. Although a temper or two can flare on the slow moving people on the crowded high road, but I think most who know Kilburn would agree it is very shocking that there has been a shooting, and that someone has been killed.

Concerned neighbours talk at the edge of Kilburn High Road
Zadie Smith the Author says of  Kilburn; “The bus stop outside Kilburn’s Poundland is the site of many of the more engaging conversations to be heard in the city of London.”
And Bradley Wiggins winner of the Tour De France 2012 and Olympic medalist say's of hs achievements '"Kids from Kilburn aren't supposed to win the Tour and they're not supposed to become knights, either. Know what I mean?"


While local residents of Kilburn try to make sense of what's happened on their local High Street, Our thoughts are with Sabina Moss's family at this time, and her friend's recovery.

Friendly Police at the bottom of Messina Avenue, only residents have access to the road.

From the BBC:
A woman who died after a shooting in Kilburn, north London, in the early hours, has been named as Sabrina Moss.
The 24-year-old was one of two women injured in the gun incident, at about 04:20 BST.
The second woman, also 24, remains in hospital where her condition is not said to be serious.
Detectives from Trident, the Met Police's gang crime investigation unit, are at the scene in Kilburn High Road.
No arrests have yet been made and local road closures remain in place.

Real (dead) Mammoth in the Flesh at the Natural History Museum

Today the Natural History Museum (NHM) exhibits the actual remains of a Mammoth, a baby Mammoth named Lyuba (pronounced Loo-ba, meaning Love). Perfectly preserved due to the bacteria surrounding her after she accidentally choked to death, she was found by herders in 2007. She's  been compared to the size of a 'large dog', and now hovers in a glass dark box in the middle of the NHM's new exhibition 'Mammoths, Ice Age Giants' . Emotive eyes As it's so well preserved scientists are still learning about it everyday; DNA samples have been removed and examined, what they know already is she died with some of her mothers milk still in her tummy. It doesn't get more personal than that, does it? I have to say as it's a rolling exhibit and Lyuba belongs to The Yamal-Nenents Regional Museum- Siberia, near where she was found; to see her in the 'flesh' as it were is truly a once in a lifetime thing. Personally I feel it is pretty impress...

The Great Fire! Fire! of London 1666-2016

You've heard the nursery rhyme, "London's burning, London's Burning.. fetch the engines, fetch the engines. Fire! Fire! Fire! Fire! Pour on water, pour on water" Well, it was no nursery rhyme. It was a true story... Barge on Thames w Shard in background. Pic Credit Hina Pandya 2016©️ Walking down the river on the 1st of September, I came across this barge by Blackfriars bridge and near the Temple buildings, if that walk wasn't beautiful enough, this barge appeared and shows the beautiful skyline of London in 1666, when of course the great fire of London happened. It started across the river in Bakers Lane and destroyed much of London, to be rebuilt and of course took many lives, but it also took the lives of the plague infested rats that spread disease to people like wildfire, if you'll pardon the pun.
