The force launched a manhunt across Hertfordshire and north London, searching through the night and the following day, which concluded when Kyle Clifford was found injured in Lavender Hill Cemetery, in the north London area, on Wednesday afternoon. No shots were fired by police.
Clifford was taken to a major trauma centre for treatment that day, but as of Thursday afternoon remained in a “serious condition” and was yet to speak with officers at that stage.
