THE firearms officer who killed Jermaine Baker more than seven years ago may face misconduct proceedings after Britain’s highest court dismissed his appeal today.
The 28-year-old from Tottenham, north London, was shot during a Metropolitan Police operation against a prison break attempt from a van near Wood Green Crown Court in December 2015.
Prosecutors decided not to bring criminal charges against the marksman, referred to only as W80, in 2017.
