Cops said the three adults were approached by a lone gunman in Energen Close on Wednesday night.
He fired multiple shots at the two teenage men, hitting them, the mother and her baby son, who was in a nearby car, before fleeing on a motorbike.
A relative told the MailOnline the gunman first shot 18-year-old Juane Youngsam and 19-year-old Rynell Seaton.
He then shot 27-year-old Piera Hutton eight times including in the chest, arm and leg, the relative added.
They said the mum called a family member from the scene asking for help and told them what happened.
The relative said their mother has visited the victims in the hospital.
The relative, who did not want to be named, told the MailOnline: "They are about to operate on Piera, she has internal bleeding, but I think she will be okay.
"The baby is in a coma. I hope he pulls through."
Detective Chief Inspector Rick Sewart said: "As a result of this terrible crime, an innocent two-year-old-boy is now seriously ill in hospital.
"This child was shot in a wanton act of indiscriminate violence."
The toddler was seen with a gunshot wound to the neck before being taken away in an ambulance.
A school teacher who lives opposite the scene said she the unconscious baby boy and a man running from the scene before fleeing on a moped.
The woman, called Yvonne, 55, said: "I heard four or five gunshots and looked out of the window.
"I then saw a person dressed in black with a motorcycle helmet on running from houses on Energen Close where the shooting happened.
'TERRIBLE CRIME'
"I can only assume the person running from the house had fired the shots and then fled.
"They jumped on the back of a scooter driven by another person. I could not see their faces because of the helmets.
"But they were both dressed in black. I couldn't see whether the man running from the flats had a gun."
Detective Chief Inspector Sewart added: "I know that people will be shocked and horrified that a little boy should be the victim of a gunman and I need the community to show their support for him, and his family, by telling police what they know.
"Anyone giving information will be fully supported and if you don't want to give your name, you can call Crimestoppers, which is totally anonymous.
"But however you want to do it, make that call, and anyone who is doubtful should think of that little boy and his family's anguish."
The Metropolitan Police were called to the scene at 9.45pm on Wednesday to reports of "shots fired".
Another neighbour, Nina Moran, said she heard screams and crowds gathering at the scene while at home alone with her young son.
The 34-year-old added: "I just heard people screaming and saying a kid around three years old had been shot. Everyone was saying just ring an ambulance."
Forensic officers at the scene last night were examining a white car with windows that had been shattered.
The Metropolitan Police said: "Officers attended along with London Ambulance Service and found four people suffering gunshot injuries.
"Three of the injured are adults and one is a young child, the age of the child has not yet been confirmed.
"All four have been taken by ambulance to hospital. There has been no arrest at this stage.
"Enquires continue to establish the circumstances.
