A man has died after being shot by police after officers were called to reports of a row in the street.

The shooting happened at around 2am in Swindon, with a police watchdog now probing the fatal incident.

Locals said they heard loud bangs and shouting before ambulances arrived.

The victim was seen receiving CPR from paramedics in the back of an ambulance but was later confirmed to have died before reaching hospital.

This morning a rifle-style pellet gun was seen being retrieved from the scene as neighbours paid tribute to the man who died, the Swindon Advertiser reports.

I worked in Swindon many years ago and it is probably the dullest place on the planet. Not much detail yet but the fear is that we are becoming like America.

Try this for a starter :
" The queen is a blood drinking reptilian who'e entire family is inbred and worship Satan"
Maybe that'll get you off to a bit of a start ?

I thought ownership of firearms by private citizens was verboten in Britain?

Are you claiming gun control doesn't work?

If you're too dumb to comply with police orders, well, then the police are just culling the herd.

*sigh* The only weapons banned in the UK are machine guns, assault rifles, rocket launchers and hand guns with a barrel length of less than 12 inches. Our gun control works fine, thanks.

To be clear, high energy air guns and air guns chambered for self-contained gas cartridges, are banned too...
Explosive, incendiary, noxious (biological, chemical) and armour-piercing ammunition types are "prohibited" for civilians.
With a few specialised exceptions, all firearms in the United Kingdom must be licensed.

To obtain a firearm certificate, the police must be satisfied that a person has "good reason" to own each firearm, and that they can be trusted with it "without danger to the public safety or to the peace". Under Home Office guidelines, Firearm Certificates are only issued if a person has legitimate sporting, collecting, or work-related reasons for ownership.
Since 1968, self-defence has not been considered a valid reason to own a firearm.
Pistol shooting for sporting purposes has been effectively banned since 1997.
Any person holding a Firearm or Shotgun Certificate must comply with strict storage conditions by storing their firearms/shotguns in a safe bolted to the floor or wall .
In the case of a firearm certificate the issuing police force may impose additional conditions over and above the statutory ones.
