... that a mass shooting in Sheffield, England in 1960 ended when the gunman was tackled by two policemen armed only with truncheons?

Source: "Two brave police officers who disarmed a man with a gun who opened fire, killing three people in a Sheffield pub, have been honored for their actions ... Despite only having truncheons and knowing that Mohamed Ismail had a gun, the men called for him to come out. When he refused, they kicked the door through, disarmed Ismail and 'potentially prevented further death'" from:Horrobin, Natalie (26 June 2023).

General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy compliance:

Adequate sourcing:
Neutral: - The article refers to the shooting as a murder, but it doesn't seem to have been a conviction because of insanity. At least in article title discussions, the consensus has been to use the word murder to describe the incident only if there is a murder conviction. "Killing" or "shooting" would be accepted alternatives.

Hi buidhe, thanks for the review. I was going by the sources which use "murder", but see your point. I have switched out the wording in the article - Dumelow (talk) 04:59, 25 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
