Man shot by police after woman stabbed at property
A man has been shot by police after a woman was stabbed at a property in Luton.
Shots were fired by armed officers at an address in Cardigan Street at about 12:50 BST on Tuesday.
The man was struck in the arm and leg after a Bedfordshire Police officer discharged four shots, while another fired a baton round.
The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) said it was now investigating the police response.
"We have secured the police firearms for examination and CCTV and officers' body worn video have been viewed," a spokesman said.
The man's injuries were described as life-changing but not life-threatening.
Both he and the woman, whose injuries were also not life-threatening, were taken to hospital for treatment.
Bedfordshire Police said it was responding to reports that a man was threatening a woman with a knife at the address.
Det Ch Supt Zara Brown said officers "responded quickly" to the unfolding incident.
"As part of this response, shots were fired by police, and one man sustained serious injuries," she continued.
