Man armed with crossbow shot dead by police in south London
A man armed with a crossbow who forced his way into a property in south London has been shot dead by armed police.
A witness told The Telegraph she heard screams moments before a man – believed to be in his 30s – was killed by officers.
The incident occurred shortly before 5am on Tuesday (30 January) in Bywater Place, Southwark, following reports that an armed man was trying to break into a home in the area and had threatened to harm the occupants.
Valeria Bocanegra, 37, a neighbour, said: “I heard people screaming to each other at 4.56am, it was a woman and a man and I thought it was a couple fighting.
“It’s a very quiet area so this kind of situation never happens. The woman was screaming. It lasted for about a minute then everything became quiet.”

Yep. Typical murderous police
Yey LONDON!!!

Arent crossbows legal in the UK?
Well at least it wasn't a hair dryer !
They shoot a dude dead who has a crossbow and hasn’t killed, and they arrest an migrant fundamental Islamist who murders three innocent British citizens on a killing spree, then the fundamental Islamist conveniently develops mental health issues, and they put him in a hospital … what’s wrong with this picture ?
another psychopath smh
In the US, they'll sue the police.
