By SNN

The Police Force announced that the Belmont shooting involving an off duty police officer will not be logged as a police shooting.

The assistant commissioner says, “It’s a case where he was at his private home, sleeping in his bed when he went to investigate a noise outside of his home. It could’ve happened to anybody, so this should not be associated with a police killing.”

The Police is trained to react according to the situation at hand and that the officers usually show restraint where necessary.
