A man died after being shot during a police operation in north London connected to the arrest of four people.
Armed officers were in Bracknell Close, Wood Green, at about 09:00 GMT when the man was shot, Scotland Yard said.
The Met said the operation was "intelligence-led" but not related to terrorism.
Two of the four arrests were in the Bracknell Close area on suspicion of "conspiracy to facilitate the escape of an individual from custody".
