“A man who was firing a shotgun in his home has been killed in Iceland in what is believed to be the first time that a person has been shot dead by armed police in the country’s history. The 59-year-old was reported to have been shot on Monday after firing on police as they entered the building in the east of the Icelandic capital, Reykjavik. Iceland, a country where gun ownership is widespread, has one of the lowest violent crime rates in the world.”
