The pair, from Kennington police station, had stopped to talk to a man on a bike when he fired upon them and ran off.
Armed officers from the Metropolitan Police's specialist CO19 unit were called to the scene shortly after the incident.
Acting Chief Inspector Malcolm Noone said: "At about 3pm today officers from Kennington police station stopped to speak to a male on a pedal cycle on Coin Street, SE1.
"As the officers approached this male, he dumped the pedal cycle and ran off into Blackfriars Street.
"As the officers ran into Blackfriars Street they were fired upon and the man ran off."

What does this say about the country? It also shows how easily someone can get a hold of a handgun, or possibly worse now. What do you think of this, are we, as M3th says, slowly turning into America?

What, you think handguns are more popular now, AFTER your nation banned them?
Interesting...

You should be so lucky.

It is London though, if they're not stabbing each other they're shooting each other.

Sounds intentional though, particularly as he called them over, ran (even though he had a bike ) and then shot them as they chased.
