A 49-year-old man has died at his home in Bradford from gunshot injuries after a struggle with police who were on a drugs raid.
It happened on Buckingham Crescent in the Clayton area of the city just after one o'clock.
All the officers, who had a drugs warrant, were unarmed. When they went into the house there was a struggle, a firearm was discharged and the man received fatal injuries and died at the scene. The Independent Police Complaints Commission has been informed and is at the scene.
MP George Galloway has missed 87% of all Commons votes during his first year as a Bradford MP and spoken in just seven debates.
Data compiled on website theyworkforyou.com show Mr Galloway has taken part in just 13% of the votes over the past year. Most MPs average between 70 and 80%.
He has spoken in just seven debates - the average for MPs being around 30.
Mr Galloway, a member of the Respect party, has declared the figures "fundamentally flawed" as they present only a partial picture of what an MP does. His office said he has tabled dozens of motions, written letters to Ministers and dealt with a large amount of constituency work from his office.

Bradford 'Batman' unmasked as Stan the delivery man
A masked crusader who walked into a police station dressed as Batman to hand over an alleged criminal has revealed himself as Stan the delivery man.

Asked why he went dressed as the comic book hero, he said: "Obviously he wanted to get straight down there and I wanted my bed as it was 1.30am."

Dynamo is bookies' favourite to be 'Bradford Batman'
After Batman appeared to hand in a suspect at a Bradford police station speculation about the identity of the Caped Crusader has run wild - with suspicion even falling on local MP George Galloway - Ladbrokes has now released odds on some likely suspects.
Possible Batmans include:
Illusionist Dynamo 5/1
Former Bradford striker Dean Windass 6/1
Gardener and TV presenter Alan Titchmarsh 8/1
Kaiser Chiefs singer Ricky Wilson 10/1
Former Bradford midfielder Stuart McCall 20/1
Supermarket boss Sir Kenneth Morrison 33/1
Manchester United midfielder Tom Cleverley 40/1
One Direction's Zayn Malik 50/1
The odds that 'Batman' will hand over another criminal suspect to West Yorkshire Police before the end of 2013 are good, standing at 3/1.
It looks like there is slightly less chance of the Boy Wonder accompanying Batman next time, as the odds of 'Robin' appearing in handing over another criminal suspect to West Yorkshire police before the end of 2013 are 5/1.
Respect MP for Bradford West, Geoge Galloway, has taken to Twitter to deny that he was the Caped Crusader who handed in a man to police in the northern city:
Contrary to rumours sweeping gotham, I am not the Bradford Batman, However I take my hat off to him and wish him luck in the future.
