Two men have been shot following a party in Thornton Heath.
Police say they were called to a home in Camden Gardens at around 4.06am on Sunday following reports of shots being fired.
When they arrived officers found two men suffering from gunshot wounds.
One, a 23-year-old black man, had suffered an injury to the back. The second, a 38-year-old black man, had a gunshot wound to the foot.
Both were rushed to a south London hospital where their injuries were described as non-serious.
So far there have been no arrests.
Officers say they want to speak to anyone who had been at the party or who may have information into the shooting.
Detective Constable Steve Gallone from Operation Trident said: "This would have been a busy party with people from the local community present. I am appealing to those present to come forward and help in the investigation.
"We need the local community to help take guns of the streets and help bring those that use them to justice."
Anyone with information should call the incident room on 020 8785 850 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
