An update has been given on the medical condition of the victim of a shooting in Dalston.

A 37-year-old was found with gunshot wounds after police were called to Crossway around 11pm on June 20.

He was taken to a hospital in east London in a life-threatening condition.

His condition has since improved, but his injuries are still deemed to be life-changing.

There have been no arrests but an investigation into the incident is still ongoing.

Photos soon after the shooting show a heavy police presence, with officers and a cordon put in place overnight.
