Only 12 of the 20 gunshots fired at Fishmongers’ Hall terrorist Usman Khan found their mark, and just three inflicted fatal injuries, an inquest into his death has heard.
Khan was sprayed with bullets by armed officers on London Bridge minutes after he murdered Cambridge graduates Jack Merritt, 25, and Saskia Jones, 23, in the hall on the banks of the River Thames.
Convicted terrorist Khan had been attending a prisoner education alumni event in the grand building on November 2019, just 11 months after being released after an eight-year jail term.
On the day of the attack, he strapped knives to his hands before launching his fatal attack on Ms Jones and Mr Merritt and several other attendees before escaping from the hall on to London Bridge where he was shot dead.
