A man has been shot dead during an "intelligence led" operation in north London, the Met Police have said.
The shooting took place in Bracknell Close in Wood Green at about 9am on Friday.
Sky's crime correspondent Martin Brunt said some sources suggested there were multiple shots fired.
Police have set up a tent to cover the scene and footage not broadcast by Sky News showed the body of the man lying on the ground.
Scotland Yard said the operation was not related to terrorism.
"It was a pre-planned police operation ... which means it wasn't something that suddenly erupted," Sky's Brunt said.
"Police went there with their own armed officers."
The Met is currently cracking down on gun and knife crime in the capital.
A series of raids staged this morning -codenamed Operation Kestrel - involved hundreds of specialist officers, including firearms teams.
There have also been more than 350 firearms-related incidents in the capital so far this year, up 15% on the 2014 figure.
