| Man shot by armed police at Liverpool house | |
| (35 minutes later) | |
| A man has been shot by armed police who entered a house in Liverpool, police investigators have said. | |
| The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) said investigators were at Shellingford Road, Dovecot, after a "non fatal police shooting". | |
| Neighbour Craig Chadwick said he saw armed police "move in with all the shooting" after seeing "the fella with a knife to his wife's throat". | |
| Merseyside Police said no officers had been injured. | |
| The IPCC said that following the shooting, it had "declared an independent investigation". | |
| Mr Chadwick said he had heard a police negotiator "trying to calm him down, but he was shaking his head at them". | |
| He said the moment armed officers entered the house was "horrible". | |
| "They had to throw [smoke] bombs into the house and then an ambulance came about half an hour later." | |
| Neighbour Jenni Hurley told BBC Radio Merseyside that when she woke at about 07:30 BST, "there were all police cars in my street". | |
| "You could see everything. We could see the riot vans and they started putting the police tape up. | |
| "At 08:30, we heard the gunshots then. It was about five or six - it went on for a while." | |
| She said she was unsure if the shots had come from inside or outside the house. |
