A Metropolitan police officer and his dog have received the Commissioner's Commendation for Bravery after tackling and disarming a gunman in Peckham. Constable Steve Roots and his dog 'Carla' were confronted by a machine-gun style pistol, with 15 live rounds. The gunman, who tried to strangle 'Carla' when cornered, was later jailed for eleven years.
