Man dies after fatal shooting at London's Avalon Club
A man has died in hospital after he was shot at a private function inside a nightclub in London's West End.
The shooting happened at the Avalon club in Shaftesbury Avenue at about 03:00 GMT.
The victim, believed to be 31, suffered multiple gunshot wounds. Police believe they know the identity of the man but await formal identification.
A man has been arrested and is being questioned at a south London police station.
The next of kin of the man thought to be the victim had been informed, the Metropolitan Police said.
Shaftesbury Avenue has been closed while police investigate.
The Avalon Soho describes itself as a cocktail lounge with live DJs every night.
Its website says it is "a revitalised venue that oozes creativity and class", and which brings "a unique and stylish vibe to the heart of West End's party scene".

*A shooting in (hand)"gunfree" UK?
I'm amazed how the report is more concerned about the club's website rather than asking questions about how this was supposed to have been able to happen!

Unpossible.
Banning guns always stops gun crime. Otherwise liberals wouldn't push for it. Would they...

Wouldn't it have been unbefuckinglievable if the man did not die after the fatal shooting.

Re: Man dies after fatal shooting at London's Avalon Club
Handguns are not banned in the UK. They do have barrel and overall length restrictions which make carrying it impractical, and carrying one is against the law but they are not banned.
I highly doubt this was a legal firearm though.
