Police have shot a man dead outside a railway station after reports he was carrying a firearm.<\/b><\/p>\n

Officers, who were called to Milton Keynes Central Station at 12:55 BST, said they challenged the suspect before shots were fired at him.<\/p>\n

A man who was nearby said he heard a “very loud” shot and then saw armed officers giving medical assistance to the man on the ground.<\/p>\n

A Thames Valley Police (TVP) spokesperson said “life-saving actions were immediately taken” but that he was pronounced dead at 13:44.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

“There is not believed to be any further risk to the public at this time,” the spokesperson added.<\/p>\n

The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) said it sent investigators to the railway station after being notified by TVP.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Eyewitnesses told the BBC they heard screaming between the police and suspect, and the man refused to drop to the ground.<\/p>\n

Hever Marin said he was on a phone call in the station building when he heard the “very loud” shot.<\/p>\n

“So we went out to see and the next thing we saw was two armed cops trying to get some medical equipment to resuscitate the guy,” he said.<\/p>\n

“They tried for at least 10 minutes. But the guy wasn’t reacting.”<\/p>\n

A picture, seen by the BBC, shows armed police providing medical aid to a man who is lying on the pavement close to the Pret A Manger cafe.<\/p>\n

Mr Marin continued: “It was very distressing because, we were just here… and any loose bullets could have impacted us.”<\/p>\n

Co-op store worker Barentina Corredor said when she heard the noise she “thought we had to find a place where we could hide – I was scared”.<\/p>\n

“They were trying so hard on CPR – it was quite shocking to be honest,” she recalled.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Residents of flats above the station reported hearing a single loud noise before a large police presence arrived about 10 minutes later.<\/p>\n

Edith Brockbank, 67, said: “There was all sorts of activity trying to get people back, there was somebody trying to film it, the police were trying to tell them to go back.”<\/p>\n

Shazna Muzammil, a councillor and Conservative group leader at Milton Keynes City Council, said she was “deeply shocked” by what had happened.<\/p>\n

“Our thoughts are with all those there and affected by it,” she\u00a0posted on X<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Very thankful to the police and emergency services for their swift response in keeping everyone safe.”<\/p>\n

TVP is leading on the investigation and British Transport Police said officers would remain at the station overnight to reassure passengers and give assistance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Rail operator London Northwestern Railway said train services were unaffected.<\/p>\n

However, barriers were put up obscuring some station exits, with pick-up and drop-off zones closed. Passengers could still access a taxi rank and buses.<\/p>\n

Crowds were, at times, being staggered entering and leaving the station.<\/p>\n

An IOPC spokesperson said it would “independently investigate all of the circumstances” of the shooting, including “the actions and decisions taken by the police”.<\/p>\n

The police watchdog added: “It is in its very early stages and no further information is available at this time.”<\/p>\n
