A policeman has been shot and killed in the UK (the first such incident for several years). What's particularly bizarre about this is that the shooter was in custody in a police station at the time, with his hands cuffed behind him. He apparently retrieved a revolver hidden in his clothes (he had been searched, but was about to have a metal detector used on him) and shot the officer in the chest, and himself (not fatally) in the neck.

The suspect had been flagged over concerns about both rightwing and Islamist indoctrination, sources said, but nothing of concern was found. Mental health is also a consideration in the inquiry, with the suspect understood to have a learning disability – though whether this was a factor is yet to be determined. ... On Friday night, the Independent Office of Police Conduct, which is investigating, said: “What we have established is that the man was arrested for possession of class B drugs with intent to supply and possession of ammunition. The man was handcuffed to the rear before being transported to Croydon custody suite in a police vehicle where he was escorted into the building. He remained handcuffed to the rear and seated in a holding area in the custody suite. “His handcuffs remained in place while officers prepared to search him using a metal detector. It is at the point that shots were fired resulting in the fatal injuries to the officer and critical injuries to the man. A non-police issue firearm, which appears to be a revolver, has been recovered from the scene.” |
