Damn. If he went through all that and was still going, then I guess there probably wasn’t much other option. Tragic it happened though.
Sounds like they did everything possible before resorting to a gun then.
>Witnesses reported hearing up to six gunshots during an incident on Ascot Drive and a nearby B&M shop was evacuated.
Seems naughty, witnesses are idiots and would have heard several bangs and identified them as gunshots when lead by the question “how many shots did you hear?”
>use of a multi-bang stun grenade
… lazy reporting.
Yeah fair play to the police, at least they tried less lethal methods.
Whelp, that title was a rollercoaster not gonna lie.
Outside a Police Station no less. This guy wanted suicide by cop.
What baffles me is that it seems he was not directly endangering innocent bystanders, trying to attack anyone with a heart beat or even thinking of doing such a thing. From the news he seems to have been just wielding the knife and breaking few things.
Unless he attacked someone directly just prior to the shooting, I find it hard to justify his killing.
Police in the uk are so tame, went through everything before lethal force. Its the same in Northern Ireland, were regualar police actually are armed.
Wtf ia up with america
I live about 500m from where he was shot. Brand new Police station behind a fire station. Big fences all round. Not sure how he got in.
I was not in Derby on the day – I was at a funeral. First I heard was someone who knew I lived in Derby said there were reports of a shooting in Derby city centre shopping centre.
I did not look up what had happened until the next day. Found out the shooting was at the police station car park.
Next day I was in a taxi talking to the driver and he said on the day when the first reports came in they said he’d been shot 6 times – the people who told him lived nearer than me and they said they heard 6 shots. Next set of people said it was 3 shots – that they also heard.
And the final report: Shot after being hit with stun grenade, baton round and then tasered.
Moral of the story: Don’t always believe the first or even second reports of anything.
No information as to who was threatened that justified lethal force.
