Four other men, aged between 19 and 32, have been charged with
attempting to help Izzet Eren, 32, and Erwin Amoyaw-Gyamfi, 29, to
escape from lawful custody.
Two of the four have also been charged “possession of an imitation
firearm with intent to commit an indictable offence” and “driving a
motor vehicle which had been taken without the consent of the owner”,
the Metropolitan Police said.
The shooting took place after armed police, who were tipped off about
the alleged escape attempt, lay in wait wearing balaclavas.
The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC), which is
investigating the fatal incident, said the person killed was a
28-year-old mixed-race British man from Tottenham.
The man died in Bracknell Close, which runs behind the court, after
being shot once by a police officer, the IPCC said.
Eren and Amoyaw-Gyamfi were arrested by armed police while riding a
stolen motorbike in north London on October 13 and found to be carrying a
Skorpion sub-machine gun and Tokarev handgun.
They were intercepted en route to “kill, or maim or wound” an unnamed
person and pleaded guilty to charges of possessing guns and ammunition
with intent to endanger life, aggravated vehicle-taking and a driving
offence at a previous hearing.
The pair were both jailed for 14 years for the attempted “professional
hit”.
Jailing the men, who have a string of prior drug and violence
convictions, Judge Nicholas Browne QC said the gravity of gun crime
“could not be overstated”.
He said: “This was to be a professional hit. Each of you was armed with a
loaded, lethal weapon.
“The potential consequences were all too obvious. You could have been
killed or seriously injured. So could innocent members of the public,
not to mention your intended victim.”
He added: “In sentencing you I completely ignore and put out of my mind
the serious incident outside the court area, not far from where I am
today. I observe and agree with your wish to be sentenced today.”
The Directorate of Professional Standards - the Metropolitan Police’s
internal watchdog - is also investigating the incident

They fear terrorists and other criminals, including perverts could be using drones to commite crime.
As reported by the Daily Star Online, peeping toms across Britain are taking to the skies with drones to film randy couples romping – without the stars of their film ever knowing.
But the first single interceptor drone will be attached to a specially-trained riot police unit. More join the force in February.Source;Daily Star
