The Metropolitan Police Commissioner Cressida Dick said that officers were at several crime scenes in order to secure evidence.

The man suspected of killing the officer remains in a critical condition, and the indications are that he shot himself.

She said that she could not name the officer who was shot as they have not been able to contact all of his close family.
