A witness has captured the moment in which a man walks down the street while holding a pistol, in Much Wenlock, Shropshire in the UK.

“I couldn't believe it when I just watched him mooch past the door holding a gun like he had no care in the world,” Jane Shepherd describes.

The photo, relayed by the Daily Mail, was taken on Easter Sunday, before the gunman tried to enter the former home of a policeman.

He was walking down the street at 4.25 p.m., after threatening to shoot two officers. The cops fired a shot at him but missed, and eventually brought in a K9 unit and managed to stop him. A source in the police department mentions that he has been arrested and put in custody.
