Tributes have been paid to a West Yorkshire Police officer shot and killed when he rushed to help a colleague who was being attacked in Leeds.
Today, West Yorkshire Police remember former Detective Sergeant John Speed who was murdered on Wednesday October 31, 1984. John was unarmed and shot when he ran to the aid of a colleague who had been attacked during a routine stop check.
Two men were acting suspicious in Kirkgate near Leeds Parish Church. As John approached the scene one of the men pulled out a gun and shot him in the chest at point blank range.
