A man who was shot by armed police in a village in Surrey last week has died in hospital.
The 29-year-old man was shot by an armed officer after police responded to an "altercation" between two people involving a weapon.The force was called to an address on Nursery Road, Knaphill, at 00.36am on the morning of Sunday, August 11, following reports of two men with a weapon.The man was later taken to hospital for medical treatment, where he remained in a critical but stable condition, police said earlier in the week.
regional director Mel Palmer said: "This is a tragic incident during which a man sadly lost his life. We have met with the man's family to explain our role. Our thoughts are with them and everyone affected by this incident. "Fatal police shootings are rare. Given a person has died it's important that an independent investigation is carried out to establish the circumstances surrounding this incident, including police actions and decision-making, and the use of lethal force.
