Park Inn Hotel Incident, June 2020
On 26 June 2020, Bardreddin Abdalla Adam Bosh was shot and killed by officers after he stabbed and seriously injured six people in the Park Inn Hotel, West George Street, Glasgow.
On Thursday 6 April, the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service (COPFS) advised that following a thorough and independent investigation into the circumstances of the fatal shooting of a man, there was no evidence of criminality on the part of any police officer involved in the incident. The investigation concluded that police officers acted appropriately throughout and their actions were legitimate and proportionate.
Armed officers are amongst the most highly trained in policing and they acted quickly and with professionalism to save lives in what was a spontaneous and fast-moving incident involving significant risk.
This was a terrible and tragic incident and our thoughts remain with all of those affected.
