Blinded policeman relives Moat shooting ordeal

The British police officer injured by Raoul Moat has described how the gunman stared coldly into his eyes moments before he shot him in the face – leaving him blind.

Pc David Rathband spoke of his ordeal after an inquest into 37-year-old Moat’s death heard that armed police fired two Tasers at the steroid-addicted former nightclub doorman to stop him taking his own life.
