David Cameron says police should shoot-to-kill in the event of a terrorist attack

Britain’s prime minister has told Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn to “review” his opposition to a shoot-to-kill policy in the event of a Paris-type terror attack.

David Cameron said officers must be clear that if they have to kill a terrorist to save lives, “they should go right ahead do so”.

He spoke after Mr Corbyn had said he was “not happy” with the idea of a shoot-to-kill policy in the UK, remarks that forced shadow foreign secretary Hilary Benn to say Labour supports the use of lethal force to save lives in a terror attack.
