Panorama: The Line of Fire

BBC One
on BBC One London

Two men fire guns in the street. One is in west Yorkshire firing blanks: British police shoot him dead. The other is in New Jersey, USA, with 200 live rounds: American police arrest him unharmed. Using video footage, interviews with witnesses, and a first-hand account from the gunman at the centre of an armed siege, Panorama investigates the police tactics in both incidents and asks why the less dangerous man was killed. Gerry Northam reports.
