Two police officers were shot as they arrested a murder suspect, who subsequently died, at a West Yorkshire pub.
Shots were fired at the officers at around 4.20pm on Monday at the Fleece Inn, Elland Road, Ripponden. They were both treated for minor injuries.
The two officers were among four who were making enquiries at the pub in connection with the murder of 20-year-old Zubair Munir from Huddersfield, whose body was discovered on moorland on Sunday afternoon. A 28 year-old man, who was about to be arrested at the time of the shooting, drove off from the pub in a red Peugeot 106 car.
The man, who has not been named, was later found seriously injured in nearby Halifax. He was found in the driver's seat with a gun-shot wound to the head. He was arrested and taken to the Bradford Royal Infirmary, where he died at around midday on Tuesday.
One of the injured officers, a 44-year-old woman, received treatment for a gun shot wound to her thigh. A 39-year-old policeman also had treatment for a gunshot wound to his stomach. Both have been released from hospital.

Court told 15 pints fuelled GBH assault
A man who broke his neighbour's cheekbone in an attack at a Worcestershire pub has escaped jail.
Scott Hardcastle, 26, pleaded guilty to inflicting grievous bodily harm and was ordered to do 200 hours community punishment at Warwick Crown Court last week.
Neil Bannister, prosecuting, said Hardcastle had drunk 15 pints of lager before he entered the White Lion in Evesham Street, Alcester, at around 10.30pm on 23 December.
Host David Lloyd told Hardcastle to leave for misbehaving. Hardcastle went into the toilet before he left, and the licensee followed him.
Hardcastle saw his neighbour Shane Danks in the toilet. Danks tried to hit him and was escorted from the pub.
A brawl occurred after Hardcastle followed Danks outside. Hardcastle punched him on the chin, then hit Danks a further five times in the face. Danks was rushed to hospital and needed surgery to have plates inserted.
Paul O'Keefe, mitigating, said Hardcastle, of Crooks Lane, Alcester, was provoked and felt "genuine remorse".
