After more than a decade since the incident took place in July 2010, this is what we know about Raoul Moat and what he did.

Who is Raoul Moat?

Raoul Moat was a former bouncer from Newcastle who had a violent history.

Shortly before going on a shooting spree, Moat had been serving an 18-week prison sentence at HMP Durham for assaulting a nine-year-old family member.

What did Raoul Moat do and who did he shoot?

Moat shot three people in the space of 24 hours.

A few days after being released from HMP Durham in 2010, he targeted his ex-girlfriend Samantha Stobbart and her new partner Christopher Brown, by visiting her house in Birtley, Gateshead in the early hours of July 3.

PC Rathband was picked out and shot twice by Moat while the police officer was sitting in his patrol car at a roundabout on the A1 and A69 near East Denton, Newcastle.

Moat then went on the run and evaded capture for more than a week. Sniper teams, 160 armed officers, helicopters, dogs and armoured anti-terrorist vehicles were all deployed during the chase to find Moat, according to ITV.  

What happened to the victims?

Christopher Brown was pronounced dead at the scene of the initial shooting.

Samantha Stobbart was badly injured after being shot in the arm and abdomen but went on to survive the attack.

PC Rathband was in hospital for three weeks and lost his sight.

He went on to set up the Blue Lamp Foundation, which helped other members of the emergency services injured in the line of duty, earning him a Pride of Britain award.

However, in February 2012, PC Rathband's body was found at his home in Blyth, Northumberland, where he had taken his own life.

Is Raoul Moat alive?

Throughout the manhunt, police officers found many abandoned campsites where it is thought Moat had slept rough.

The pursuit finally ended after seven days when he was recognised by police in Rothbury, Northumberland.

After being cornered and a six-hour standoff with the police, Raoul Moat died by suicide and was pronounced dead at the scene on July 10, 2010.
