A black man who was shot in the face by police was actually wearing a wig and makeup

LONDON — The man who shot a police officer in the eye with a stun gun in 2015, who said he was dressed up in a wig, was actually dressed up as a bunny when he fired his weapon, the Metropolitan Police said Tuesday.

The officer, in a bid to apprehend the gunman, fired four shots, striking the man, a 29-year-old man from the North West area of the city, in the head.

The man was taken to a local hospital in a critical condition, where he later died.

His name has not been released.
