On Tuesday, officers responded to reports of a man with a gun near a railway station. Upon arrival, they confronted David Joyce, who was actually wielding a knife. After advancing quickly towards the officers, he was shot at close range by an officer. Joyce, a 38-year-old from Milton Keynes, received first aid but died at the scene from a gunshot wound. The IOPC has launched an investigation and is reviewing CCTV and body camera footage, ensuring that the officers involved are treated as witnesses in the ongoing inquiry.
A substantial amount of CCTV footage and police body worn video has been reviewed, showing David Joyce running at officers with a knife just before he was shot.
IOPC director Derrick Campbell expressed condolences, stating, 'Our thoughts are with the family and friends of this man and all those affected by this tragic incident.'
