Armed officers who fatally shot a knifeman in a Derby car park had previously tried to stop him using batons, a Taser and stun grenade, the police watchdog has claimed.
In an update on the incident, the Independent Office for Police Conduct says a provisional port-mortem suggests he died from a single gunshot wound to the abdomen. ‘Attempts were made to stop him, including use of a multi-bang stun grenade, discharge of a baton round and a Taser, before a police firearm was discharged at about 10.03am’, the organisation said.
The round fired by officers will now be subject to ballistics tests, and a ‘large amount’ of body-worn video footage from responding police will also be studied by investigators.
