CCTV footage captured near the scene of the shooting outside a memorial service in London shows panic in the area as people fled the scene screaming.
In video obtained by Sky News, a loud bang can be heard and a dark car is seen driving down Phoenix Road, near Euston Station.
After the explosion, people could be heard screaming and they were seen running away.
Six people, including a seven-year-old girl who remains in critical condition, were wounded in a drive-by shooting outside St. Aloysius Church on Saturday afternoon.
CCTV footage was taken from the Wellbeing Walk, an alley near the church.
Police believe the suspects fired at the mourners from a black Toyota around 1.30pm before they drove away from the scene. Officers are looking for a black 2019 Toyota C-HR.
The seven-year-old girl who was injured in the attack remains in a stable but critical condition, while a 48-year-old woman sustained potentially life-altering injuries.

A 12-year-old girl and three other women, aged between 21, 41 and 54, were injured in the attack.
Police said the 12-year-old sustained a leg injury but has since been released from hospital. She is expected to make a full recovery.
The shooting took place after a service in memory of 20-year-old Sarah Sanchez and her mother, Freesia Calderon, who died within a month of each other in November.

Sanchez died after a battle with leukemia, while her mother, Ms. Calderon, died suddenly of a rare blood clot upon arrival at Heathrow Airport from Columbia, MyLondon reported.
Parish priest Father Jeremy Trud, the priest who conducted the Mass before the shooting took place, described the scenes as “pandemonium”.

He told Sky News he heard a loud gunshot shortly after mourners left the church to release pigeons outside before people started rushing into the building.
Inspector Jack Rowlands, of the Metropolitan Police, described the incident as a “senseless act of violence” as the manhunt for the gunman continued on Sunday.

The force asked the witnesses to contact the police with any information.
A large number of dedicated detectives and local officers “are working around the clock, but we also need the help of the public,” Superintendent Rowlands said.
People who attended the memorial service at the church in Phoenix Road told Sky News they did not know why it happened.
