The Metropolitan Police has announced that a firearms officer, known as W80, will soon face a misconduct hearing for the fatal shooting of 28-year-old Jermaine Baker. The incident occurred during a failed prison breakout attempt near Wood Green Crown Court in North London in December 2015.
Jermaine Baker, from Tottenham, was shot by W80 as the police thwarted an attempt to free two prisoners, Izzet Eren and a co-defendant, from a van. The prisoners were being transported for sentencing on a firearms offence.
