"Going in at the source means major intervention work with youth workers, inoculating means going into schools, changing social norms, educating kids, teaching them what it is to be a man, teaching them how they don't need to carry knives", she added.
"I tried to save her at the time".
The teen, named locally as Tanisha, died after being "shot in the stomach" in Tottenham - just minutes before a 16-year-old boy was shot in Walthamstow, East London, in an unconnected attack.
Officers attended along with the London Ambulance Service and found the teenage girl suffering from a gun shot wound.
Describing the victim as a "good girl", she said: "She didn't deserve that".
A second boy, aged 15, is also being treated for stab injuries but his condition is unknown.
A 21-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder and is now in custody at a west London police station.
There have been no arrests at this stage in relation to both incidents and they are not being treated as linked.
