A murder investigation has been launched after a 25-year-old man was shot dead outside a London pub last night.
Emergency services raced to The Landor pub in Clapham at around 10pm, where they found a man suffering from gunshot wounds after what has been described as a 'mistaken identity' hit.
It is believed the victim was dropping off his girlfriend at the pub when multiple shots were directed at him.
A woman at the scene claimed: 'It was mistaken identity'.
Despite paramedics arriving within three minutes, he was pronounced dead at the scene.
Another man, 22, self-referred to hospital with a gunshot wound shortly after the attack.
He was subsequently arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and remains in hospital.

Witnesses described hearing three gunshots, and locals reported 'loud bangs'.
One resident told London Now: 'It was shortly after 10pm and I heard lots of sirens, and I heard bangs – I think it was five or something.
'And then I said "Do you think they were gunshots?"'
Another resident said she now wants to move out of London, fearing for the safety of her two-year-old grandson growing up in the city.
She said the sirens eventually quietened down but was 'horrified' by what she had heard.
