Man arrested in Pc shooting case
Yusuf Jama was arrested in Birmingham
Police hunting the killers of Pc Sharon Beshenivsky, who was shot dead during a robbery in Bradford last Friday, have arrested a 19-year-old man.
Yusuf Jama - one of three men named as suspects earlier this week - was arrested in Birmingham, police said.
The other two, Muzzaker Imtiaz Shah, 24, and Mr Jama's 25-year-old brother, Mustaf, are still at large, they say.
Pc Beshenivsky, 38, was killed and her colleague, Pc Teresa Milburn, 37, hurt during the raid at a travel agency.
The pair, both trainees, had gone unarmed to investigate the incident in Morley Street on 18 November.
Pc Beshenivsky was shot in the chest and her colleague shot in the shoulder.
Pc Milburn needed hospital treatment but was discharged two days later.
Police said Mr Jama was arrested in the Saltley area of east Birmingham on Saturday morning as the result of an "incident".
Eyewitnesses reported intense police activity in Bowyer Road at 0930 GMT.
Pc Sharon Beshenivsky was shot dead and her colleague wounded
Officers declined to give further details for "operational reasons".
Mr Jama has been brought to West Yorkshire for questioning.
The arrest comes after police released photographs of the three suspects on Friday and appealed for help to trace them.
Earlier on Saturday they revealed this appeal had resulted in "a number of calls".
Police said Mr Jama would be transported to a West Yorkshire police station for questioning.
They are still appealing for help to trace the remaining two suspects.
All three suspects are thought to be from the north Kensington area of west London.
Six arrests
Pc Beshenivsky leaves a husband, three children and two step-children. Her youngest child, Lydia, was celebrating her fourth birthday on the day her mother was shot.
Five Somali men, and a woman, arrested in London in the aftermath of the shooting were released without charge.
The men were all bailed pending further inquiries. The woman was freed unconditionally.
Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to contact the police incident room on 01274 373700.
