Scene of Manchester shooting related videos
The name of the police officer shot dead during a training exercise in Manchester has been released.
He was Ian James Terry, 32, from Burnley.
Pc Terry joined Greater Manchester Police in 1997 and had worked as a firearms officer since 2002.
He suffered a serious chest injury in the incident on Thorpe Road in Newton Heath at a huge disused warehouse, known locally as the Sharp Building.
He was rushed to North Manchester General Hospital where he was pronounced dead.
The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) has confirmed it will investigate the shooting. It has revealed that the officer died after being struck by a single shot discharged from a shotgun carried by a colleague.
Acting Chief Constable, Dave Whatton, said: 'This was a tragic incident and our thoughts are with Ian's family and friends. He was a well respected officer and will be sadly missed.'
An IPCC spokesman said officers were training in a controlled environment practising tactics and using training versions of special munitions designed to stop vehicles containing armed criminals.
The IPCC is still collecting evidence and hopes to issue further details in the coming days.
A spokeswoman for Greater Manchester Police would not comment on whether officers used live or blank bullets, or both on the training exercises.
However police sources said live rounds are used in some exercises.
Home Secretary Jacqui Smith later paid tribute to the dead police officer in the House Of Commons.
She said: 'The whole House will be saddened to learn of the tragic death today of a police officer during a training exercise with Greater Manchester Police. This demonstrates the dangers that police officers face on our behalf.
'I am sure that the whole House will join with me in expressing our deepest sympathy to the officer's family, friends and colleagues.'
