LONDON: Another deadly night in London is putting pressure on political leaders, as a surge in violence on the streets of the British capital pushes its murder rate higher than New York’s. Two teenagers were shot – one fatally – and another was stabbed in the northeast of the city on Monday night. A man walks past a piece of graffiti in the centre of Walthamstow in London, Britain. In the latest violence Monday, a 17-year-old girl was shot dead in Tottenham, north London, in what witnesses described as a drive-by attack. Sarah Castro, of Safer London, a charity working to prevent gang violence, said her staff were “shell-shocked” by the recent violence.
