:01:12. > :01:19.The vehicles involved in that incident last night have now been

:01:34. > :01:35.-- the road has been reopened. A gun was found in a car in which Yassar

:01:54. > :01:57.described what she saw. When I looked over,
:01:58. > :01:59.everything had stood still, I didn't hear the shooting
:02:00. > :02:15.and didn't see the shooting, but I did see the car boxed
:02:16. > :02:19.in and then I saw some big policemen The man who died is 28-year-old
:02:20. > :02:25.Yassar Yaqub, a father of two from the Crosland Moore

:02:38. > :02:39.vehicles pulling up, big, large, vehicles,
:02:40. > :02:46.then a couple of ambulances. As soon as the ambulances pulled up,
:02:47. > :02:49.some of the policemen told the ambulance staff to get down
:02:50. > :02:52.as quickly as possible to where It looked like somebody needed

:03:04. > :03:05.at the scene of the incident. Two more were detained

:03:32. > :03:33.West Yorkshire Police says it would be inappropriate to make any
:03:34. > :03:39.further comment at this time. The M62 at Junction 24 finally
:03:40. > :03:41.reopened more than 24 hours after being closed during last
:03:42. > :03:50.night's dramatic events. Charlotte, what's been the reaction
:03:51. > :04:03.from Yassar Yaqub's family? They released a statement through
:04:04. > :04:05.their lawyer today and said they were shocked and distraught at his
:04:06. > :04:13.death. Throughout the afternoon, we saw relatives and friends deliver
:04:14. > :04:17.flowers and cards to his house. There were a lot of tribute and
:04:18. > :04:20.social media. One post said, you were no angel but you were one of
:04:21. > :04:26.the good guys and didn't deserve this. We also found out today that
:04:27. > :04:30.Yassar Yaqub was charged with attempted murder and possessing
:04:31. > :04:36.firearms six years ago. We must stress he was found not guilty of
:04:37. > :04:39.those charges. Another development tonight is there has been one
:04:40. > :04:48.peaceful protest in connection with last night's shooting. The group
:04:49. > :04:54.held up banners in Leeds Road in Bradford city centre. Traffic was
:04:55. > :05:00.diverted. A postmortem examination will be taking place and expect more
:05:01. > :05:02.details in the next few days about what actually happened here.

:05:34. > :05:42.How quickly do those decisions have to be made by the officers?
:05:43. > :05:49.A set of circumstances will present themselves in front of the officers,
:05:50. > :05:53.either where and when to stop a vehicle, and something will then
:05:54. > :05:55.occur and the officers probably have about half a second to make
:05:56. > :06:02.a decision as to whether to fire a weapon or not.
:06:03. > :06:05.What happens to the officers who were involved in last
:06:06. > :06:12.These matters now will be dissected over months and it's important
:06:13. > :06:16.to remember the officer had a fraction of a second to make
:06:17. > :06:20.a decision that is later analyse to the highest degree
:06:21. > :06:28.At its most extreme, it is possibly who pulls the trigger
:06:29. > :06:40.Quick decisions have to be made and these are reflected over
:06:41. > :06:42.a long period of time, but the officers have probably less
:06:43. > :06:45.than a second to make what is a life-changing
:06:46. > :06:49.and perhaps career-changing decision.
