Not allowed to shoot at police officers either, he going to his own funeral.

Sounds like 200 hours community sevice to me.

BBC reports "A man injured during an armed police siege in a West Yorkshire house has died of gunshot wounds"


Police Officer Shot In Kirkheaton Huddersfield West Yorkshire: Armed Police Stand-Off With Gunman | UK News | Sky News
Siege Ends After Officer Shot In West York


Armed police have taken a gunman suffering with gunshot wounds into custody after a siege overnight at a house in West Yorkshire.


The stand-off began after a male PC was hit by a bullet and suffered minor injuries when the 42-year-old man took aim at a number of uniformed officers from his doorstep late last night.
The gunman then returned inside the property, in the village of Kirkheaton, near Huddersfield, before continuing to fire shots at police.
Sky's Frazer Maude, reporting from the scene, said three loud bangs were heard before the siege ended at around 5.30am and the man was taken away by paramedics.
However, the extent of the man's injuries is not yet known.

Loud bangs were heard before police detained the man
"Sources are telling us they may have been stun grenades," Maude said.
"The man was taken into custody and then put into a paramedic vehicle."
Teams of armed officers had earlier cordoned off the area and surrounded the "isolated" address last night.
Negotiators had been involved in a tense stand-off with the man during the night.
A spokesman for West Yorkshire Police said: "Just after 10pm yesterday officers attended a domestic address in the Kirkheaton area of Huddersfield to arrest a man following an incident earlier in the day.

Gunfire was heard at the address at around 5.30am
"The man produced a gun and fired at the officers - a male officer in his 20s was hit and attended hospital for minor injuries but has since been discharged."
It is believed he was the only person inside the property and was brandishing a handgun.
Police attended the address to arrest the man on suspicion of making threats towards another man at a nearby property earlier in the day, the spokesman added.

Depends on what they were planning to arrest him for; a real crime or something unbelievable like posting "hate speech" on Youtube or burning the Koran. If it was the latter, the arresting cop deserves what he got.

For those that missed the reason why the officer attended.
