Residents of a street on the Essex-London border, known for drug-related issues, are terrified after a man was shot dead by Met Police.<\/p>\n

The incident occurred just before 9pm on Thursday in Dagenham. The police reported that the man had claimed to have loaded firearms and intended to end his own life during a phone call, Essex Live reports.<\/p>\n

Despite attempts by negotiators to engage with him at Weston Green, officers fired shots and the man was declared dead at the scene. The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) has launched an investigation into the incident.<\/p>\n

This marks the first fatal shooting by Met Police since rapper Chris Kaba's death in Streatham Hill, south London, in September 2022. A large cordon remained around the area for several days, and locals have now spoken out about the horrific state of the area.<\/p>\n

One woman said: "The road is known for drugs. You can smell the drugs when you walk by. There are also often bottles on the ground, groups of people hanging around. It makes you feel uneasy. It's a shame because Dagenham in general has been going downhill recently. We've lived here 20 years, and we're considering moving. We don't feel safe anymore."<\/p>\n
