I saw an incident that occurred on 25 October 1999 on Acre Road, Kingston upon Thames, and I’m curious if anyone here might remember it or know where to find more information. The Surrey Comet may have archives of the story.

"A man armed with a pistol was shot by Metropolitan Police SO19 officers on Acre Road in Kingston upon Thames after reportedly pointing the weapon at a police officer and firing several shots during an armed confrontation. He survived after being shot in the chest, and the incident was referred to the Police Complaints Authority for investigation."
