The 28-year-old was shot dead during an alleged attempt to spring two convicts from a prison van in Wood Green.

Ken Marsh, chair of the police federation said: "If the officer in question was charged, my colleagues would consider very, very carefully if they would still carry blue permits and carry firearms.

"We are talking about police officers who carry firearms by choice and are looking to be backed up by the government for doing this."
