LONDON (Reuters) - A police officer was shot dead on Sunday while investigating a "domestic-related incident" at a house in Shrewsbury, West Mercia Police said.

Officers had been confronted by a man with a firearm after being called to the house in New Park Road in the Shropshire town at 6.10 a.m.

The shot officer was taken to hospital where he was pronounced dead.

A man in his thirties was found dead at the house and a firearm removed from the scene.

Police said they were not seeking anyone else in connection with the shooting.

They said no one else suffered any injuries and appealed for any witnesses to come forward.

"The whole force is extremely shocked and saddened by death of one of our colleagues, and it is important to remember that another man has died today," said West Mercia Chief Constable Paul West.

"We are fortunate in West Mercia that incidents of this nature are extremely rare. This remains one of the safest places in England and Wales," he added.

The policeman, who has yet to be named, is the first serving police officer in Britain to be fatally shot since Police Constable Sharon Beshenivsky was gunned down during a robbery at a Bradford travel agents in November 2005.
