Police have named the man shot by armed officers during an attack in Glasgow.
A police officer was left fighting for life after Badreddin Abedlla Adam stabbed six people at a hotel on Friday.
Armed police gunned down the 28-year-old from Sudan after multiple people were injured at the Park Inn Hotel on West George Street.
Six people are currently in hospital, including PC David Whyte, who is now in a stable condition.
In a statement on Twitter, Police Scotland said: “The identity is based on information the deceased provided to the Home Office earlier this year.
“Police Scotland will continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the incident in Glasgow.
“The police discharge of firearms resulting in a fatality will also continue to be fully investigated by the Police Investigations and Review Commissioner (PIRC).
“Both of these inquiries, which take place under the direction of the Lord Advocate, are ongoing and it would not be appropriate to speculate either about the events or the outcomes of these investigations.”
