An inquest into the death of Bryce Hodgson, who was shot dead by armed police officers after breaking into a home armed with a crossbow, has begun at Southwark Coroner’s Court.
The incident occurred on January 30 when Hodgson, 30, gained entry to a property on Bywater Place, Surrey Quays. Armed with a crossbow and other weapons, Hodgson’s threatening behaviour prompted a call to the police, leading to the deployment of armed response units.
