The horror attack was said to have unfolded in front of Lianne’s daughter.
Met Police have today confirmed a boy, 16, has been arrested on suspicion of murder after the triple shooting.
Tributes poured in for the mum in the hours after her tragic death.
Lianne was described as “a beautiful soul who would do anything for anyone”.
Her family added: “Lianne had a heart of gold, we her family are going to miss her immensely.”
The 42-year-old worked with young people in education and also cared for her son, who been has used a wheelchair user since he was a child.
Nurse Jackie Finnigan, 52, said she was Lianne’s best pal and she was “there for everyone”.
Cops were called to reports of gunfire outside a house on Vine Close 6.30pm on Tuesday.
Two others victims – a 20-year-old man and a 16-year-old boy – were taken to hospital suffering from wounds.
They have since been discharged.
