A 26-year-old Dagenham man is now stable after being shot three times outside a Romford nightclub.
Around 150 terrified revellers witnessed the shooting outside Liquid and Envy nightclub, Romford, in the early hours of Friday morning .
The man was shot three times in the leg and groin at close range, in Exchange Street, at around 3.15am.
It is thought there had been an earlier altercation between two groups inside the club, in South Street, which reignited outside at closing time.
The victim, who has not been named, is critically ill but stable in an east London hospital.
Officers from Operation Trident - which examines gun crime in London - are investigating, but there have been no arrests, a spokesman for Havering Police said.
They are hunting a white man.
Anyone with information regarding the shooting is asked to call police on 020 7230 9831 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
