A man was fatally shot during an alleged confrontation with police in Bent Town, near New Forest in southern Manchester, on Thursday morning.
The deceased has so far been identified only by his alias, “Lobster.”
According to police reports, lawmen were conducting a targeted operation in the community during the early hours of the morning when they went to a house to carry out a search.
Investigators say the officers were allegedly confronted by a man armed with a firearm, resulting in a confrontation during which he was shot.
The injured man was later pronounced dead.
Police reported that a 9mm pistol was recovered at the scene following the incident.
The shooting comes days after Head of Area Three Police, Assistant Commissioner of Police Christopher Phillips, announced the launch of Operation Reset, an initiative aimed at targeting criminal activity and key perpetrators across Manchester, Clarendon and St Elizabeth.
