Considering this whole situation was sparked off by armed police firing on a man who (apparently) hadn't fired on them, things could get real ugly if more armed police are added to the equation.

the reports I read said there was a gunfight, so I guess the police got shot at too. But that story might have changed?

The most recent reports I've seen said that two shots had been fired: one was lodged in a police radio in a police car, the other killed the suspect.
The bullet recovered from the radio matched ammunition issued to the Met., and was likely fired by them, not the suspect.
