Another report into the fatal shooting of a Huddersfield man could be released this week.

The Independent Police Complaints Commission are about to publish their findings into the shooting by police marksmen of Alistair Bell.

Bell was shot dead at his home in Kirkheaton in December 10, after holding police at bay in an armed siege.

An inquest last month spent three weeks hearing evidence about the incident.

Inquest jurors ruled that the marksmen were justified in shooting Bell.

Bell, 42, died after an armed police siege at his home in Cockley Hill Lane in December 2010.

Armed officers had gone to Mr Bell’s house after he shot at a policeman who tried to arrest him for allegedly threatening a couple in the village.

For the next seven hours, he holed himself up in his home and fired shots at police.

A 29-year-old police constable escaped serious injury because he was wearing a stab-vest.

The inquiry into Mr Bell’s death was launched immediately after the shooting.

An IPCC spokesman said: “We are now preparing to publish the report and that could happen this week. There was some checking to be done after the inquest as there are often differences between what people say in interview and what they say under questioning at an inquest.

“There may be differences that we will have had to look into.”
