Walker570 Posted July 27, 2018 Report Share Posted July 27, 2018 Just seen reports of an armed altercation between criminals with guns and police firearms officers. Report suggests police were fired on and returned fire but no injuries !!! Sounds like the police officers concerned need more training Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Medic1281 Posted July 27, 2018 Report Share Posted July 27, 2018 (edited) To be fair I can’t hit pigeons and they are not shooting back at me. I’ve been known to miss a fox or two as well. And that’s without the adrenaline causing the shakes, or being fired back at! Edited July 27, 2018 by Medic1281 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritishShooting Posted July 27, 2018 Report Share Posted July 27, 2018 In fairness the armed police probably had to fill in a risk assessment and notify the HSE before being allowed to return fire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuddster Posted July 28, 2018 Report Share Posted July 28, 2018 is this the same incident you are referring too? https://news.sky.com/story/four-men-charged-with-attempted-murder-of-police-after-london-gunfight-11452640 four men charged with attempted murder of police officers. perhaps their lack of 'more training' prevented the headline 'four men charged with murder of police officers'. f.
