The horror unfolded on Saturday at St Aloysius Church where a memorial service was taking place for a young woman and her mum.
Gunmen opened fire from a moving Toyota C-HR at around 1.30pm as 350 people gathered for the requiem mass.
Footage showed terrified mourners screaming as they ran for cover from the shotgun blasts.
Those inside the church could be heard shouting "we need to get out" as gunshots rang through the air.
The Met said yesterday the seven-year-old girl remains in hospital in a stable but life-threatening condition.
Four women aged 21, 41, 48 and 54 were also taken to hospital but their injuries were described as non-life threatening.
A 12-year-old sustained a leg injury in the attack but was later discharged from hospital.
It is understood the crime is being linked with a Colombian drug cartel.
Fresia Calderon, 50, and her daughter Sara Sanchez, 20, were being remembered after they died within a month of each other.
Her former husband Carlos Arturo Sanchez-Coronado was a convicted member of the notorious Cali drug cartel, which featured in Netflix show Narcos.
Sanchez-Coronado, who died last year aged 56, was the first man extradited from Colombia to Britain.
