This is in relation to a serious incident in Two Mile Ash, whereby two men died and a young boy was left with serious injuries.
One of the deceased has been confirmed as 24-year-old Odichukumma Kelvin Igweani - otherwise known as Kelvin Odichukumma Igweani - who was born in Nigeria but lived in Milton Keynes.
This morning (2/7), the court heard that Thames Valley Police were called to a property along Denmead in Two Mile Ash following reports of a domestic disturbance on Saturday (26/6).
David Bannister, from the Independent Office for Police Conduct, explained how armed officers attended the scene at around 9:40am.
He said that upon entering, armed officers discovered a man that was dead upon arrival.
The court heard via video link how police then saw Mr Igweani, who was allegedly trying to harm a young boy. He was tasered but this proved ineffective.
It was reported that Mr Igweani moved to another room with the child. Officers then broke into this room, fired another taser at Mr Igweani before four shots were fired.
The inquest opening heard that Mr Kelvin Igweani's medical cause of death was a gunshot wound to the chest.
Mr Tom Osbourne, a senior coroner from Milton Keynes, has opened an inquest into Mr Igweani's death.
