A youth was shot dead and two teenagers are in hospital with stab wounds after suspected linked incidents, the Metropolitan Police has said.
Police were called to an assault on the Pelican Estate in Peckham, south east London, at about 1630 GMT on Wednesday.
Officers were then alerted to reports of a stabbing nearby and while investigating discovered the shot youth at Heron House, a force spokesman said.
The youth was pronounced dead at the scene. Three males have been arrested.
During their inquiries, officers had discovered a 17-year-old boy with a stab wound at an address in Gannet House.
Police were later alerted to a third victim, an 18-year-old man, after he arrived at a south London hospital, also suffering from a stab wound.
Both are said to be in a "stable condition" at separate south London hospitals.
"Officers are treating all three incidents as linked at this early stage," the Met spokesman said.
The ages of the gunshot victim and the arrested men have not yet been confirmed.
