A dramatic shoot-out between armed officers and a gunman in North London has been captured on CCTV. Sedat Meric can be seen opening fire outside a pool hall in West Green Road in Tottenham last May just before 11pm. Meric who had been under surveillance then starts shooting at officers from the National Crime Agency after they identify themselves. Twenty five year old Meric from Edmonton was today found guilty of possessing a firearm with intent to endanger life and will be sentenced in January.
