CS gas fired into siege flat

It followed an earlier exchange of fire between gunman Eli Hall and armed officers.

Part of the building in Hackney, east London, was already on fire and police fired the CS rounds into an area away from the blaze where they believe Hall, 32, is hiding. Officers resorted to CS rounds to try to force him out in what has become one of Britain's longest armed sieges.
