With increasing gun crime Britain's police officers often have to match fire with fire. But terrible accidents can happen.

Panorama investigated recent controversial episodes where police have mistakenly shot innocent men.

The programme also looked at how American forces have adopted less than lethal weapons in a bid to reduce fatal shootings and asks why hasn't the UK followed suit?
