Raoul Moat Was Shot At Twice With Tasers, Inquest Hears

PRESS ASSOCIATION -- Cornered killer Raoul Moat was shot at twice with Tasers before shooting himself in the head, an inquest has heard.

The gunman yelled: "It's going to end in this field tonight," shortly before he was fired at by two firearms officers using experimental X-12 shotgun Tasers.

A jury heard the officers had received no formal training to use the weapons and had never fired an X-Rep projectile before.

In July 2010 Moat shot and injured his ex-girlfriend Sam Stobbart, killed her new boyfriend Chris Brown and the next day blinded Pc David Rathband.

He evaded a huge police manhunt for days until he was cornered in Rothbury, Northumberland, by the River Coquet.
