A shootout with po­lice end­ed with the death of one man and the seizure of a gun in Clax­ton Bay on Sat­ur­day af­ter­noon.

Po­lice said of­fi­cers from the Cen­tral Di­vi­sion were on pa­trol on Dump Road at 4 pm, when they saw two men stand­ing by the side of the road.

One of the men had a pis­tol tucked in­to the waist­band of his trousers.

When the men saw the po­lice ve­hi­cle, they ran in­to near­by bush­es, and the of­fi­cers pur­sued them.

As they en­tered the bush­es, of­fi­cers re­port­ed that the men fired at them.

Po­lice re­turned fire, killing one of the men, iden­ti­fied as Em­manuel Mo­hammed.

A Dis­trict Med­ical Of­fi­cer de­clared Mo­hammed dead at the scene.

Of­fi­cers found and seized a Pietro Beretta pis­tol, be­lieved to have been used by Mo­hammed, along with five rounds of 9-mil­lime­tre am­mu­ni­tion.
