<p>An investigation is under way after a 42-year-old man was shot dead by police during a seven-hour armed siege at his village home.</p>
<p>Alistair Bell was gunned down by police marksmen in the West Yorkshire village of Kirkheaton, near Huddersfield, after shooting one Pc and opening fire on his West Yorkshire Police colleagues.</p>
<p>The incident unfolded when uniformed police arrived at the loner&#8217;s home in Cockley Hill Lane at about 10pm on Monday to arrest him on suspicious of making threats.</p>
<p>Police said he shot one unarmed male officer on the doorstep who was taken to hospital with minor injuries.</p>
<p>Bell then moved back into the end-terrace house and continued to fire throughout the night as police negotiators tried to coax him out.</p>
<p>Nearby residents said the incident ended at 5.30am when they heard one shot followed a moment later by three louder shots in quick succession.</p>
<p>The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) is investigating the incident and probing the actions of West Yorkshire Police.</p>
<p>Eyewitness Mark Blezzard, 30, who lives opposite Bell, said he heard around eight or nine shots during the night-long stand-off. He said: &#8220;Loads of police turned up &#8211; some carrying machine guns. They lit the house up like a Christmas tree and the armed police were behind hedges.&#8221;</p>
<p>West Yorkshire Police said they tried to resolve the situation peacefully although shots were &#8220;continually&#8221; fired at officers.</p>
<p>Officers initially attended the address to arrest Bell on suspicion of making threats towards another man at a nearby property earlier in the day, a spokesman added.</p>
