Metropolitan police assistant commissioner Simon Byrne released a statement
on Thursday morning claiming officers were on the scene within nine minutes
of the first 999 call being received.
'One point I would like to address is around some of the speculation as to
how long it took the Met to respond yesterday as this incident started to
unfold.
'We first received a 999 call from the public at 14:20hrs stating a man was
being attacked, further 999 calls stated that the attackers were in
possession of a gun. We had officers at the scene within 9 minutes of
receiving that first 999 call.
'Once that information about a gun or guns being present was known firearms
officers were assigned at 14:24hrs. Firearms officers were there and dealing
with the incident 10 minutes after they were assigned, 14 minutes after the
first call to the Met.'
