The man was shot outside a property in Cedar Road, Enfield, shortly before 23:50 BST on Sunday, the Met Police said. Officers had earlier been called to a property in Barnet amid reports of a man, in possession of what was believed to be a gun, making threats to kill. The dead man, described as white and believed to be in his 40s, was pronounced dead at the scene. A non-police firearm was also recovered, the force said. The incident has been referred to the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) for investigation.
