Knife-wielding man shot dead by cops at train station in front of horrified commuters is named

A MAN who was shot dead after “moving towards armed officers at speed” with a knife has been named.

Police rushed to thestation after receiving reports of a man, now named as David Joyce, carrying a weapon on Tuesday afternoon.

Horrified commuters reported hearing a loud bang as Joyce – who was confronted by cops – was shot dead.

The 38-year-old, who lived in Milton Keynes, was given first aid by officers but died at the scene after the incident on Tuesday.

Joyce's next of kin have been informed and he was formally identified at a post-mortem examination this morning, said The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC).

Provisional cause of death is said to be a single gunshot wound to the abdomen, said the police watchdog.

The IOPC said: “No other weapons were recovered from the scene. The police cordon at the scene was lifted last night (2 April).

“We were advised by [Thames Valley Police] that firearms officers were sent to the station shortly before 1pm following a 999 call reporting that there was a man with a gun at the scene.

“We have viewed police officers' body worn video footage and a substantial amount of CCTV footage and established that at around 1.04pm the man was just outside the railway station main entrance with a knife in his hand, and ran towards the officers.

“Shortly afterwards the man was shot at close range. We have established that a single shot was fired by one officer.”
