After unarmed officers, attending an early morning domestic disturbance at a house in Shrewsbury, were held at gunpoint, PC Gray arrived at the scene with an armed response unit; as he and a colleague went forward they were confronted by the gunman and PC Gray was shot in the head with a rifle and fatally wounded.

His assailant was later found dead nearby, having shot himself.

In his four years with West Mercia he had been commended five times, including two Divisional Commendations for assisting with rescues, and a Judge's Commendation and two Chief Constable's Commendations for bravery in arresting violent suspects armed with firearms.

It is with deep sadness that I report that wire stories from England this morning report the death of another member of the police service. Constable Jonathon Charles Henry, a 3 year veteran of the force, was pronounced dead after being stabbed while responding to a call for help from citizens early today. The incident occurred 18 minutes into his shift. He had reported for work at 07:00 hrs. The police constable was assigned to Luton. He was wearing a stab-proof vest at the time of the incident. The suspect was taken into custody by other officers who had to use batons and a taser to bring him into submission. Two other civilians were hurt, including one who is reported in serious condition from stab wounds. PC Henry was married to his wife, Mary and has a baby daughter Maggie. I know our thoughts and prayers are with the family and fellow officers.

Killed: PC Jon Henry
