A man, who was believed to be armed, has been injured after being shot by police in West Sussex.
Officers were called to a house in Borers Arms Road, Copthorne, at 2200 GMT on Monday to reports of a man in his 50s threatening a woman.
Police said following negotiations a shot was fired and a man was taken to hospital with injuries to his hand. The woman was unharmed.
The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) has been informed.
A Sussex Police spokeswoman said the injured man was now “helping police with their inquiries”.
She added: “A woman was led safely from the house.
“Firearms have been found in the house and their viability and type are yet to be ascertained.”
