Statements collected in fatal police shooting probe

On the day in question, Norfolk Police was initially called to a crash between a Honda Jazz and a Mercedes van by the gates of Thetford cemetery on London Road at about 20:30 GMT.

The Honda driver had suffered minor injuries but declined to be treated at hospital.

Officers received several reports from members of the public that a man carrying a handgun had left the scene and had been spotted on London Road.

Keeble was found by armed officers next to the A11 about a mile away.

He was ordered twice to drop his weapon.

Shortly after, two officers each fired one shot[1], and struck him.

Keeble, who lived in the town, was given first aid but was declared dead at the scene at about 22:15 GMT.

According to the Local Democracy Reporting Service[2], an IOPC spokesman said: "We will aim to issue our findings once all proceedings - if any - are complete.

But please note, all officers are still being treated as witnesses."

The IOPC had previously confirmed that all officers involved in the shooting remained on duty and continued to be authorised to use firearms.
