Despite only having truncheons and knowing that Mohamed Ismail had a gun, the men called for him to come out. When he refused, they kicked the door through, disarmed Ismail and 'potentially prevented further death'" from:Horrobin, Natalie (26 June 2023).

| General: Article is new enough and long enough |

Policy compliance:
- Adequate sourcing:
- Neutral:
- The article refers to the shooting as a murder, but it doesn't seem to have been a conviction because of insanity. At least in article title discussions, the consensus has been to use the word murder to describe the incident only if there is a murder conviction. "Killing" or "shooting" would be accepted alternatives. - Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hi buidhe, thanks for the review. I was going by the sources which use "murder", but see your point. I have switched out the wording in the article - Dumelow (talk) 04:59, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
