Police have shot a man dead at a railway station after reports he was carrying a firearm.
Thames Valley Police said it was called with British Transport Police to Milton Keynes Central Station at 12:55 BST.
Armed officers challenged the man before shots were fired at the suspect, the force continued.
“Life-saving actions were immediately taken at the scene, but the man was pronounced dead at 13:44 BST,” a spokesperson said.
“There is not believed to be any further risk to the public at this time.”
Shazna Muzammil, a councillor and Conservative group leader at Milton Keynes City Council, said she was “deeply shocked” by what had happened.
“Our thoughts are with all those there and affected by it,” she posted on X.
“Very thankful to the police and emergency services for their swift response in keeping everyone safe.”
Rail operator London Northwestern Railway said train services were unaffected.
However, it warned of reduced access to the front of the station.
