Whenever a person is killed it is a tragedy.
However, Sandra Gidley does herself and her party little credit for her reaction to the events in Chandler's Ford. She states it was a police operation that went badly wrong.
The police did nothing wrong and should be congratulated for their actions.
If criminals are prepared to use firearms in the furtherence of their aims they have been given a hard lesson in the consequences of doing so.
Ms Gidley should be aware that her views are unlikely to be shared by the residents of Eastleigh or Chandler's Ford.
I am grateful for the cool-headedness of the police response team in this incident.
It is time we started backing the police and not supporting the criminals. Unfortunatly, as usuals Mrs Gidley and her party have got it the wrong way round.
STEVE CHALLIS, Eastleigh.
