In a strange way, I'm glad when a situation like this makes the news, makes you realise just how rare police shooting are in the UK.

That's true. Without keeping an eye out for these stories I say I hear about 1 a year.

Still though - my thoughts go to his family

Glad they shot the man dead, and that nobody else was hurt. Better him than the police, or other innocent people living in houses near by.

Sounds like a scary situation, I am just glad that the police and no civilians were injured as a result of that man's rampage.

The thread title here made me think that someone had shot a policeman....

It's incredibly rare, but I can only see it happening more, unfortunately.

That's what I first thought and why I posted too in complete brain fart mode. But still I feel sorry for his family. The guy clearly hit some big problem that made him do this.
