Both were rushed to hospital where the man is in a serious but stable condition the woman’s injuries are lesser.
Cllr Zaffar Van Kalwlala, Labour councillor for Stonebridge, said: “I’m devastated to hear that there’s been another shooting in our area. The community will be extremely concerned about the latest incident.
“We know there is an issue with guns and gangs in Brent which is why it’s even more important that we work together to stop the situation from escalating any further.
“We all need to unite as a community to try and break this senseless cycle of violence on our streets.”
Yesterday evening, two males, whose ages are unknown, were gunned down in Kingsbury Road at around 10.30pm.
