Man shot with police Taser dies

A man has died after he was shot with a police stun gun in Bedford.

Officers were called to a house in The Spinney after reports of a domestic dispute between a mother and her son.

The man, aged in his 30s and who was suffering from an injury, threatened officers with a knife and was shot with the Taser gun on Saturday, police said.

The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) has been informed. A post-mortem examination to determine the cause of death is due on Monday.

The man was outside when officers arrived at about 1900 GMT but retreated inside the house after being shot with the stun gun.

Officers followed the man into the house where they found him injured and in need of medical treatment.

He was taken to Bedford South Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

A Bedfordshire Police spokeswoman said on Sunday: "The deceased will not be named until an inquest is opened later this week.

"A post-mortem examination is expected tomorrow to establish the cause of death.

"There will be no more statements about this incident until tomorrow when it will be decided whether this is an IPCC led investigation, or if it is referred back to Bedfordshire Police."

When Tasers are fired, two metal barbs connected to the weapon by a thin wire pierce the skin before 50,00-volt electric charge is delivered.

Amnesty International has previously said that the weapons, which temporarily disable a suspect, have been linked to more than 70 deaths in America.

But according to UK police, there have been "no severe or adverse reactions" since Taser was introduced by forces in 2003.
