//The suspect has been arrested on suspicion of murdering the officer//

Why suspected - he did it didn't he ?

[ummmm]

Yes, Baz, but the suspect could have been suffering with some sort of mental illness....blah blah.

It will be interesting when the suspects details are revealed.

[Bazile]

But he still did it

after he shot the officer, he turned the gun on himself.

[woofgang]

should have said...it sounds like he turned the gun on himself. No police weapons discharged and the shooter is in hospital in a serious condition... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-54293111
