The Canterbury gunman shot after running over an officer called to his property because he was terrorising his family, police say, has been named as Donald Melville Ineson. The 56-year-old Darfield resident lived at the Bangor Rd property with his family. South Canterbury Rugby Union chief executive Craig Calder said Ineson's death was a tragic loss to the rugby family. Ineson was a former South Canterbury Rugby representative from 1988 to 1990 and played over 25 games for the region and union. Police then shot at the vehicle, which turned around and then came to a stop of its own accord.
