Dale Christopher CREGAN

Dale Cregan

Posters displaying Dale Cregan's face were put up around Manchester.

On September 18, 2012, Cregan made a hoax emergency call to the police. Nicola Hughes, 23,
and Fiona Bone, 32, constables serving with Greater Manchester Police, were mobilised to
Cregan's call in Hattersley. When they arrived, Cregan shot them and threw an M75 hand
grenade at them. Both officers were hit by at least eight bullets as Cregan fired 32
shots in 31 seconds.
