I hope this isn't another case of "gung ho" itchy-fingered coppers pulling the trigger accidentally instead of picking his nose?
But when I read words like "believed to be armed" and "viability" in the paragraph that says "Firearms have been found in the house and their viability and type are yet to be ascertained", I start thinking toys, air-pistols or collectible firearms once viable guns but rendered useless in accordance with the law and citizens having both their arms intact? But that's just me.

Sussex police shoot 'armed' man in Copthorne
Officers were called to a house in Borers Arms Road, Copthorne, at 2200 GMT on Monday
A man, who was believed to be armed, has been shot by police who were called to a house in West Sussex.
Officers received reports of a man in his 50s threatening a woman at a house in Borers Arms Road, Copthorne, at 2200 GMT on Monday.
Police said following negotiations a shot was fired and a man was taken to hospital with injuries to his hand. The woman was unharmed.
The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) has been informed.
A Sussex Police spokeswoman said the injured man was now "helping police with their inquiries".
She added: "A woman was led safely from the house.
'Loud bangs'
"Firearms have been found in the house and their viability and type are yet to be ascertained."
The spokeswoman added that officers gave the injured man first aid at the scene before he was treated at the East Surrey Hospital in Redhill.
BBC South East Today's Ian Palmer said Borers Arms Road was cordoned off and officers remained at the scene.
Some residents described hearing two loud bangs but thought they were fireworks being let off.
One woman, who declined to be named, described the village as "usually quiet and sleepy".
The IPCC said an investigator was assessing evidence before deciding how to proceed.
The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
