The officers defied orders to wait for backup when they took him down
The heroics of three unarmed police officers who tackled a gunman moments after a shot was heard were caught on incredible bodycam footage.
The man ran towards a black Ford Focus near Ashgill Walk carrying three other men and he desperately grabbed at the door handle, trying to get in. But the door was locked and in his desperation the man ripped the door handle from the door. He threw the bin bag through the open window of the car as it attempted to speed away.
PC Hayes said: "We couldn't wait for armed resources to arrive. There were kids in the street. You have to react to that. That's what you sign up for when you join the police." PC Hamblett, who has been with GMP for seven years, said a senior colleague arrived at the scene and took her to one side. She said: "My adrenaline was so high at that time. I didn't even know where I was. I was in the middle of the road in a daze."
The weapon was a converted blank-firing Retay handgun, with a cartridge still in the chamber. Mohammed Shabaz Rafiq, 24, of Wharf Road, Sale, whose prints were found in the bag, was jailed for five years in July last year for possessing an illegal firearm.
