Samuel Barlow was moments away from being shot by specially-trained firearms officers as he roamed around Shetland Mainland, brandishing his rifle in front of frightened residents. Armed police almost opened fire at the 16-year-old as he repeatedly pointed his rifle at officers during the stand-off in September. But a court heard how it was only the professionalism and courage of officers which prevented the stand-off ending in Barlow's death.

Thank **** it wasn't a toy gun, a pack of cigs and/or actual real threat of death from the attacker because he might've been shot dead. Phew. England, US same. Even that crazy cinema shooter reserved some human rights after clearly being the murderer. Phew
