An ambulance arrived at the Sighthill police station, which houses one of Strathclyde police's firearms units, at around 11am, leaving several hours later, but the road was not closed down. In a short statement, Strathclyde police announced that officers from neighbouring Lothian and Borders police would oversee the investigation into the shooting. It is refusing to disclose further details until the officer's relatives were informed, but it is understood that no one else was being sought in connection with the incident. We can confirm there was an incident at Baird Street police office where a firearm was discharged. This resulted in the death of a serving Strathclyde police officer," the force said. A full investigation into the circumstances is currently under way and a report will be submitted to the procurator fiscal. Brian Docherty, chairman of Strathclyde Police Federation, said: "It is too early to speculate as to the circumstances surrounding the tragic death and our thoughts turn immediately to his family who have lost their loved one and colleagues who have lost a friend." Assistant Chief Constable Bernard Higgins said: "It is with great sadness that I have to tell you that a serving Strathclyde police officer died today in an incident where a firearm was discharged at Baird Street police office."
