Peters said that his job representing Tarrant ceased on Saturday - and that the accused gunman had told him he wanted to represent himself in future. After fleeing the Deans Avenue mosque Tarrant fired a shotgun several times at a vehicle in his way. Stills said the officers weighed up a pursuit, where the gunman could have got away and "unleashed" on more innocent members of the public.
