Good Morning Britain was halted for some urgent breaking news. The show was interrupted for a breaking news bulletin, with a banner running at the bottom of the screen reading: “Police shoot man dead after car crash”. News reporter Marverine Cole told viewers: “Norfolk Police say they have reported themselves to the Independent Office for Police Conduct after they shot and killed a man in Thetford, after reports of a two-vehicle collision.
“One man, believed to be the driver of one of the vehicles, left the scene holding what was described as a handgun. They said Armed response officers attended, and the suspect was then shot by officers from a short distance away.” The police was called to London Road, Thetford, at about 8.35pm on Sunday when a man, believed to be the driver of one of the vehicles, left the scene holding what was described as a handgun where armed response officers shot him.

Norfolk Police said that despite the efforts of emergency services he was pronounced dead at the scene.
The force’s Assistant Chief Constable David Buckley said: “We understand this incident will cause concern in the community.
“Our highly trained armed officers deploy to hundreds of firearms related calls each year, but incidents where police discharge firearms are thankfully incredibly rare. A full and independent investigation is already underway.
“We are of course cooperating fully with the IOPC investigation and will be handing over all body-worn footage and 999 calls to ensure transparency. We are not looking for anyone else in connection with the incident.”
The A11 remains closed in both directions from the Thetford Ranges roundabout to the Brandon Road roundabout.
GMB airs weekdays at 6am on ITV1.
