I thought these kinds of weapons were outlawed in Britain.

Yep. That's why the criminals have them -- and the cops don't. (Yeah I know you know that. I just had to say it.) Sigh...

As horrifying as this story is, I think it's also interesting to bask in the historical illiteracy of the reporter:
"In Britain, a nation with strict gun-control laws, most police don't carry weapons."
Well, sure, but they didn't back when Britain had precisely zero gun-control laws, either.
