A Black Lives Matter leader was critically injured in a shooting at a gathering in Southwark, south London early Sunday morning.
27-year-old Sasha Johnson was shot in the head and is currently hospitalized with life-threatening injuries.
According to British media, the police say that so far there is no evidence to suggest Johnson was a victim of a targeted shooting.
BLM activists however are claiming she was shot for her political activism.
Here’s footage of Sasha Johnson calling for a revolution and saying ‘the police is no different from the KKK.’
