Police have defended an officer who was filmed dropping a magazine clip from his weapon while attending the scene of a sudden death in Lurgan.

The PSNI said the magazine release on the gun caught on his ballistic vest inside the police cordon. The mag and one bullet fell to the ground but both were quickly recovered.

The incident was caught on camera by a by-stander at the railway crossing in William St last Thursday where a young man died after being hit by a train.
