Breaking News: King's Road Closed Due To Gunfire

King's Road in Chelsea is closed due to an incident involving gunfire: members of the public reported hearing gun shots in the area and police were fired at when they approached. The armed police officers discharged their weapons in return at approximately 5pm and the incident is still unfolding.

No injuries have been reported, no arrests have been made yet but King's Road is closed and shops in the immediate area are closed. Business owners have been asked to remain inside their properties with doors locked and their staff in secure areas away from road-facing rooms. If you are travelling through this area to get home, your journey may be affected. More updates to come. Also check BBC London here for more news.
