Tragic news.
If the story is correct frightening the firearm wasn't found before.

Such a massive error costing a sergeant his life, the only good thing is the scumbag killed himself.

Questions have to be raised about the search and how it was conducted, in view of recent events across the pond maybe the police have been instructed not to lay hands on suspects, looks like a very cursory search was carried out, how did they miss a gun? especially as he had ammunition

Can someone hide a gun up their rear? You get them small pistol type ones? Same way people smuggle drugs etc

...the weapon that wasn’t found in the search, though...the suspect was able to access while the booking sergeant was present..(...so presumably other officers as well...)..He was able to draw it and fire at the sergeant plus himself...so it wouldn’t sound as though it was hidden internally of his body...

Yet another example of ‘soft’ policing I wonder how many incidents like this have occurred in the countries with “ tougher policing “ ??

I thought police stations had those airport metal detectors?... schools have them :/ This is really tragic poor guy, there will be a review of search procedures now hopefully, or better still install equipment that takes the guesswork out of it.

They have the metal detectors at court but not in police stations and it’s usually a pat down at the scene and a proper search at the station.

Most concealments are in the groin area or bum area.

Well as said if someone really wants to hide something they could, you can't cavity search every suspect... get the body scanners, much er, ...cleaner :/
