A firearms officer used excessive force when he shot dead an unarmed 28-year-old man involved in a foiled attempt to spring a gang leader from prison, a police misconduct hearing has been told.
The officer, known only as W80, killed Jermaine Baker, from Tottenham, north London, during an operation to interrupt a criminal plot to snatch Izzet Eren, the head of the Tottenham Turks organised crime group, from a van heading towards Wood Green crown court in December 2015.
