Johnson has played a key role in Black Lives Matter demonstrations in the UK over the past year. She recently founded the party Taking the Initiative, which describes her as “a strong and powerful voice for the people and our society”.
The party states that Johnson is critically injured after being shot in London on Sunday night.
London police have not released her identity, but say a 27-year-old woman was shot southeast in the British capital. According to the police, “there is nothing to indicate that there was a targeted attack or that the woman had received credible threats before the incident”.
Police were notified of a shooting in the Peckham district shortly before 3 a.m. Sunday morning. They say the shooting happened near a house where there was a party.
