2021-05-24
[Guardian] The Black Lives Matter activist Sasha Johnson is in a critical condition after sustaining a gunshot wound to her head in an incident in south London, her affiliated group, Taking the Initiative party, has announced on social media.

In a statement on the group’s Facebook page, the party said that the incident happened in the early hours of Sunday and followed "numerous death threats".

The statement said: "It is with great sadness that we inform you that our own Sasha Johnson has sustained a gunshot wound to her head. She is currently hospitalised and in critical condition. The incident happened in the early hours of this morning, following numerous death threats.

"Sasha has always been actively fighting for black people and the injustices that surround the black community, as well as being both a member of BLM and a member of Taking the Initiative Party’s Executive Leadership Committee. Sasha is also a mother of 3 and a strong, powerful voice for our people and our community."
The BBC adds:
Ms Johnson, a graduate of Oxford Brookes University, has been a leading figure in the Black Lives Matter movement in the UK, and is a member of the Taking the Initiative Party's leadership committee.

In a statement on Instagram, the party said Ms Johnson was a mother of two, and a "powerful voice" who had always been fighting for black people and the injustices that surround the black community.

#15   Clearly a false report, as there are no gun crimes in Great Britain.

Maybe she was shot with a knife.

#12  Sasha Johnson, a mother of three, was found after police were called to reports of gunshots in Consort Road, Peckham, southeast London, shortly before 3am on Sunday.


Mother of 3 out partying 2am-3am?????

It is believed the shooting occurred in the vicinity of a house where a party was taking place and a number of people may have been in the area.

London Times "The Times"
Johnson’s friend Imarn Ayton, who met her during Black Lives Matter protests last year, Ayton said that Johnson, 27, was shot when gang members drove past a house and fired into the house

#3  I just don't see her being worth that sort of effort...and if it was a professional hit, she'd probably have at least 3 gunshot wounds.
