The Guy who was shot, isnt being reported as dead yet. Anyone who watched the video, the copper looks down his sights, im sure it was a shot to wound, somewhere in the shoulder. However it would suprise me that the attacker didnt have a bullet put through his head.

The poor Cop who took the shot won’t be going home after his shift tonight [emoji29]

Yes, but he will eventually go home instead of to the morgue in bits.

I believe firearms officers are trained to target the centre of mass, as the head is a smaller area to aim for; and headshots are more liekly to trigger reflex reactions that may lead to any device being detonated.

And hitting the torso, makes a stray shot hitting an innocent bystander, far more unlikely.

They'll be a very long NSC binfest on this at some point in the future, fuelled by a dogged shite stirrer or two, implicitly slagging off our security services a being too harsh in the moment against the poor terrorist.

We could move that thread to the 1 million response thread.

He'll get a full pardon if Corbyn gets into office (shit stirring :whistle:).

Fortunate that this attack was mid afternoon rather than around 5pm when London Bridge would have been busy with commuters rushing to get home.

Met Police Statement coming shortly
