Police used untested stun gun on Moat
The Independent Police Complaints Commission, investigating the 37-year-old’s death, said it was unclear whether police delivered the shocks before or after Moat shot himself.
Two officers from the West Yorkshire force shot Moat with an XRep Taser, a wireless round fired from a shotgun that delivers a shock designed to incapacitate. “This is understood to have been in an effort to prevent Mr Moat taking his own life,” the IPCC said in a statement. “The precise sequence of events regarding the discharge of the Tasers has not been established.”
