Last updated 2nd Jan 2026
A man who was killed in a fatal police shooting in Norfolk last weekend has been named.
61-year-old Tony Keeble died following an incident in Thetford that happened on Sunday.
An investigation by the police watchdog's found no evidence that officers breached the professional standards of behaviour.
An inquest is expected in due course.
IOPC Director Amanda Rowe said: “We understand that any incident of this nature is likely to cause public concern, particularly in the local Norfolk community, with questions about the circumstances surrounding this event.
“That’s why it’s important that we carry out a robust and thorough independent investigation. Our investigation remains in its early stages and we are still gathering and reviewing evidence as we work to establish the full circumstances.
“Our sympathies remain with everyone affected by this incident. We have contacted Mr Keeble’s family and will be meeting with them to explain our role and ensure they are kept updated as our investigation progresses. They have asked for privacy and request that media do not contact them at this very difficult time.”
