A FIREARMS officer who shot dead an unarmed man in Coventry more than two years ago has been served with a gross misconduct notice, it was announced today.
The family of Sean Fitzgerald expressed its shock that the West Midlands officer will not face a criminal investigation after the police watchdog said there was “no indication” that an offence had been committed when the 31-year-old was shot on January 4 2019.
Mr Fitzgerald was killed by a single gunshot to the chest as he left a house in Coventry during a planned police raid involving the Warwickshire and West Midlands forces.
