Shocking :eek:

A man has been shot dead close to the Ministry of Sound nightclub in Southwark, south London.

The man, who has yet to be formally identified, is thought to be in his 20s.

He was killed when shots were fired on Gaunt St, near the popular nightspot, at approximately 4.40am this morning.

Next of kin have yet to be reached. A post-mortem will be scheduled in due course, police said.

A second man, 29, was taken by ambulance to a south London hospital with a gunshot wound. His condition is described as stable.

A spokesman for the Metropolitan Police said an incident room will open later under detectives from the Specialist Crime Directorate.

Police have appealed for any witnesses or anyone with information to call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

My point exactly, the shooting has nothing to do with Dance Music or The Nightclub.

There was a guy shot a few weeks ago and he owned a few MOS compilations. Not a crime in itself but still shocking stuff all the same.

Had it been a Clubland mix cd however we would definately have a clear motive.

Seriously though, johnny, its London ffs. People get shot there all the time. There were 8 or 10 shootings that i heard of within 2 miles of where i lived over there in a 6 month period. And i lived in a quiet area.

fcuk you wa*ker:mad: and any other cu*t as well it is relevant, it happened outside a well known club which could posisbly have implications for that club as there have been many shootings outside this club so the authorities could try and close it down

this thread is legendary!!!I stayed with friends in Elephant and Castle for a week a few years ago. The fact that they´d even report a shooting there baffles me. That place after dark was a fcuking hellhole. Gangsters everywhere!!! Anyone who knows the area at all can see the hilarity to this thread.

On a more interesting note, Aphex twin apparently lived on that big roundabout (beside MOS) when he was in his twenties. Highly irrelevant to this thread but i figure it´s of more interest than the OP.

Apparently the police said it was involving a dispute over the origins of hardcore breaks that got out of hand.

500k worth of not-actually-illegal-drugs seized. Funny cause I heard that there are no actual 'Ecstasy' pills around at the moment they are all just mixes of BZP and DNDZ and all that sh1tty stuff

Elephant and Castle's not nearly as bad as its made out to be. I've lived here five years, and can't remember anyone I know personally ever being involved in a violent crime in that whole time.
I had more trouble living in Clonskeagh in Dublin.

The Ministry of Sound, like any big night club does tend to attract a fair few drug dealers, and I'd wager that the people involved weren't actually from the area.
