There are certain elements of this story that appear at first glance to conflict slightly. I look forward to seeing how they are resolved.

A man shot dead by police officers was trying to buy an illegal firearm from a supplier, Scotland Yard has said.

The 52-year-old victim was fatally wounded outside Paolo’s restaurant in Ealing, west London on Tuesday night. A loaded weapon was found with the dead man, according to the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC), which is investigating the incident. […]

Witness Andrew Wood told BBC London 94.9 the dead man was naked. “There was a guy lying on the floor, a naked man, and they were trying to revive him.”

I er ... since when did it become OK to shoot someone in the act of committing any crime? I mean - one could make a logical argument for shooting someone engaged in an act of murder. But not for shooting someone engaged in an act of purchase, however criminal.

Ok, maybe anything in a Burberry check.
