Man shot himself in head during armed police pursuit
A man died after shooting himself in the head during a police pursuit in Nottinghamshire, the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) has said.
An investigation was launched after armed officers from Leicestershire Police stopped the car Mathew Simmons was driving on the A52 in Bingham on 9 November last year.
The IOPC revealed on Friday that the 46-year-old died as a result of a self-inflicted shotgun wound.
The watchdog said it had concluded police acted appropriately in their involvement.
An inquest into Mr Simmons’s death was held on 14 June.
An IOPC spokesperson said: “The inquest concluded that Mr Simmons had died after discharging his shotgun when driving on the A52 while being pursued by police, and that expert evidence indicated the shotgun was fired prior to a collision with a police vehicle, and not as a result of it.”
