Three police officers are being investigated after a man was shot dead at his home on Christmas Eve.
Marcus Meade, 39, died on 24 December 2024, after a five-hour standoff with West Mercia Police officers at the house on Fownhope Close, Redditch.
The officers, who led the firearms operation, are under investigation by The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) for potential misconduct around the planning and management of the operation.
The force said it would fully co-operate with the IOPC, but after a suspension review no officers were taken off duty. The IOPC confirmed the officers involved in the stand-off, including the one who fired the fatal shot, are not subject to the inquiry.
