I have not read the story but assume that there where two police in licolnshire with the surname "Shot", possibly a married coulpe or siblings or even Mum-son, mum-daughter or any of the other possible relationships and the police have had to fire them from their jobs.
What did they do?

Target shooting can be a sport. Just like fencing.

"A sword in its scabbard" might also be seen as an encouragement to other people to carry swords around...

It's just a question of discipline. Sadly it's in the hands of the human race!

Hand pulled boy, I disagree. A sword, in its scabbard, keeps another so"

Guns have only one purpose in life and that's death.

It was actually visiting officers from West Yorkshire who fired! Lincolnshire police still have an unblemished record.

Man fires gun in Lincolnshire!

I wonder what our American friends will make of the headline.

Don't worry we will restrain the scoundrel, we won't let him near you! You may rest safe.

The Lincolnshire Constabulary have a gun and they will use it if the circumstances demand. The situation is under control.....for the time being.

Here's a link to the story. One interesting aspect is that the man arrested in the course of the incident, as a suspected drug dealer, was a former police officer. Yup, they're catching up with the big police forces in more ways than one...

They would have shot someone earlier, but they couldn't afford the bullets, it took them 40 years to save up for them.

I felt quite uplifted by this story- for the first time in its history police in Lincolshire discharged their weapons- no one was hurt. There is now an official enquiry by the police complaints board. The first time in its history-perhaps we are not such a crime ridden drug crazed society after all -we only think we are.
