Keith Tilbury, 56, a police control room operator, was taking part in Thames Valley Police firearms awareness training in May 2007 when Pc David Micklethwaite shot him in the stomach.
Mr Tilbury was blown off his chair and thrown half way across the room, causing devastating injuries.
I want that gun.

I heard that the bullet was recovered and rushed off to the local hospital, where it died while waiting for the NHI to decide whether it would pay for treatment or not.
