Man 'shot dead by cops' after police rush to home finding body of man and child seriously hurt at home

A MAN was shot dead after cops rushed to a home to find the body of a man and a child seriously injured.

Thames Valley Police were called to the scene in Milton Keynes after reports of a "serious disturbance" on Saturday morning – finding the body of a man in his 30s.

And cops then found a child badly injured at the Denmead home in Two Mile Ash about 9.40am.

A man in his 20s was then found in the property with cops shooting at the man.

Emergency services gave the man first aid but he died at the scene.

A mandatory referral has been made to the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) and they have launched an independent investigation.

The young child was taken from the property and was taken to hospital with serious injuries, where they remain.

The man in his thirties was sadly also confirmed dead at the scene.

The next of kin of both men have been informed.

A scene watch is in place around the address in Denmead and is likely to be in place for a number of days.

Assistant Chief Constable Christian Bunt, said: “What has happened this morning can only be described as absolutley tragic and will no doubt have an impact on the community.
