The death of a man who was shot by a firearms officer after shouting "go for it" at police as he clutched an air rifle was a lawful killing, an inquest jury has ruled. 

James Wilson had been hit with a plastic bullet and then a round from a police rifle after the 24-year-old had refused to put down an air rifle in South Shields in March 2016.

Northumbria Police firearms officer PC Perry Lisle had feared that he and others had been at risk and had 'acted in self-defence'. Mr Wilson died three days after the incident.

Mr Wilson had called Northumbria Police in the early hours of March 29 2016 to demand armed response officers come to see him, saying he had a 9mm handgun and would shoot officers who arrived.

It was heard that armed officers had shouted 'seven times' for him to put down the gun he was carrying before they fired first a plastic bullet then, five seconds later, a round from a rifle which hit him in the chest.

PC Lisle who has now retired, told the jury he had 'honestly believed' he had been acting in self-defence and had worried that someone could have been killed or injured during the incident.

PC Lisle, who has a police career spanning over 26 years, also added that it was the first time a weapon had ever been directly pointed at him.

PC Lisle, who has since retired, told the jury he feared if he did not act someone could be injured or killed. 

The inquest heard that Mr Wilson, had been warned seven times to lower the weapon before police took action.

Mr Wilson had confronted police officers in Frenchman's Way on 29 March 2016 and the inquest had earlier heard that his father Carl Wilson, had told Newcastle coroner Karen Dilks that he thought his son had wanted to 'use the police to commit suicide'.

The inquest also heard that Mr Wilson had shared 48 bottles of beer with a friend in the hours leading up to his death.

The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) undertook an investigation into the shooting and found that the response of Northumbria Police had been correct.

Tributes had been left for James Wilson on Frenchman's Way following the incident in 2016

In a statement the IOPC said: 'We found Mr Wilson had made a number of calls to Northumbria Police from the early hours of 29 March and was considered to be emotionally and mentally distressed.

'He made threats to police, confirming that he was in possession of 'a gun' and would shoot any police officers who approached him.

'Our thoughts remain with Mr Wilson's family and friends and all those affected by this tragic incident.'

After the hearing, Mr Wilson's mother Tracy Todd said: 'All I've got to say is that I was right all along, my son didn't commit suicide, and that's it.'

The inquest had previously heard audio of Mr Wilson shouting 'go for it' at firearms officers, and saying 'ah cushty' after the round of rubber bullets was fired.

In the minutes before the confrontation, Mr Wilson repeatedly asked the police call handler when the armed response officers were coming and had made threats. 

Police had cordoned off the area in South Shields, following the incident

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
