Police Probe After Armed Officer Discharges Single Shot in Milford Haven

The force referred the case to the police watchdog for assessment of any independent inquiry.

Overview

  • Dyfed-Powys Police said an armed officer fired one round at a Bunkers Hill address in Milford Haven at 6:32pm Saturday, and no one was hurt.
  • Officers went to the property after a 5:45pm report of disorder that named a person said to have a knife.
  • Deputy Chief Constable Gary Phillips said the force opened a prompt investigation to establish why the weapon was fired.
  • Police made a voluntary referral to the Independent Office for Police Conduct, which will decide if it will run its own investigation or hand it back to the force.
  • A police presence remained at the scene on Sunday as inquiries continued, and the IOPC is the statutory body that oversees police conduct in England and Wales.
