Hosts Richard Madeley and Ranvir Singh were detailing the latest headlines to ITV viewers on Monday’s instalment of Good Morning Britain.
During the most recent edition of Good Morning Britain, ITV audiences watched Richard Madeley and Ranvir Singh deliver the day’s top stories.
Ranvir is presently presenting the show after Susanna Reid revealed she would be taking a brief hiatus earlier this month.
Following the completion of one segment, they passed over to Marvarine Cole, who had urgent breaking news to report.
She stated: “Good morning, we start with some breaking news. Norfolk police say they’ve referred themselves to the independent office for police conduct after they shot and killed a man in Thetford after reports of a two-vehicle collision.
“One man, believed to be the driver of one of the vehicles, left the scene holding what was described as a handgun.
“They said armed response officers attended, and the suspect was then shot by officers from a short distance away.”

According to the Norfolk Constabulary page, this incident happened on Sunday (28 December) when officers were called to London Road at around 8.25pm.
In a statement, Assistant Chief Constable David Buckley said: “We understand this incident will cause concern in the community.
“Our highly trained armed officers deploy to hundreds of firearms-related calls each year, but incidents where police discharge firearms are thankfully incredibly rare. A full and independent investigation is already underway.

“We are of course cooperating fully with the IOPC investigation and will be handing over all bodyworn footage and 999 calls to ensure transparency.
“We are not looking for anyone else in connection with the incident.”
This breaking news follows last week’s surprise announcement on ITV, when Charlotte Hawkins revealed that a beloved co-star was departing the show, reports Wales Online.

During Wednesday’s programme (December 24), Charlotte shared: “I’ve just got to take this moment to say goodbye and thank you to Richard Gaisford, who has been with us here on ITV breakfast for 26 years now. He is a much loved member of our team.
“He has travelled right around the world for Good Morning Britain. He’s been in war zones, he’s covered in all sorts of different stories for us over the years.
“He is an exceptional journalist. He is the best and we wish him all the best, Richard, thank you so much. You will be very much missed.”
