[PUBLISH.TWITTER] When I go to a party there's usually a cake and maybe too much punch.I've never been to one where somebody got shot. But then, I'm not black, am I? Even if my skin was, I wouldn't be, since I don't pack a rod when I socialize.
Sasha Johnson is critically ill in hospital after being shot in the head at a property in Peckham on Sunday.
Met Commander Alison Heydari said the men had "entered the garden of the property and discharged a firearm".
Ms Johnson, 27, was left in a life-threatening condition following the shooting at the property in Consort Road at about 03:00 BST.
On Monday Ms Johnson's party, the Taking the Initiative Party (TTIP), said she had undergone an operation and remained in critical care.
"We removed her brain. She'll be fine. She's already talking"
Another man, who was thought to be in his 20s, also suffered a "superficial knife injury" during the attack.
He went to hospital but was discharged following treatment, the Met said.
Det Ch Insp Richard Leonard, who is leading the investigation, said about 30 guests had been at the party, which was being held in the back garden of the property.
He said the four attackers had been dressed in "dark clothing" and went into the garden "through a side entrance".
"In the ensuing melee a firearm has been discharged injuring Sasha," he said.
Imarn Ayton, a friend of Ms Johnson's, previously told the BBC she understood "the incident is more related to rival gangs as opposed to her activism".
