Three young women are in hospital after being gunned down in the street.
The victims, aged 17, 18 and 19, were in a serious condition but expected to survive.
Detectives hunting for a gunman were understood to be investigating if the attack was a botched drive-by hit. It was initially believed that only one shot was fired.
Scotland Yard said the teenagers were taken to hospital after the incident outside a property in John Fearon Walk, North Kensington, west London. One was initially critical, but her condition improved.
An investigation is being led by Trident detectives, who deal with gang crime in the black community.
A police spokesman said officers were alerted by the ambulance service at 7.17pm on Thursday by members of the public.
The victims - who had been out on the street after scorching temperatures throughout the day - were receiving treatment at a central London hospital.
A police spokesman said: "We understand the victims are in a serious condition but we do await an update."
The spokesman said police were alerted by the ambulance service at 7.17pm to the incident.
