Shoppers horrified as security guard killed at HMV.
A security guard, Paul Cavanagh, 30, was killed with a carving knife as he tackled a suspected shoplifter in Norwich.
Another Security Officer, a 34-year-old colleague was knifed in the shoulderblade, after rushing to try to intercept the culprit.
The HMV store in Norwich's new Chapefield Shopping Centre was thronged with shoppers when the attack happened.
Paramedics treated Mr Cavanagh at the scene, but were unable to save him as the knife had severed a major neck artery.
He was taken to the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital, but died a few hours later.
Police searched the city centre with a helicopter and dogs, and later arrested two men - one 19, and one 18.
Chief Inspector Roger Wiltshire said: 'What has happened is a complete tragedy. Our thoughts and condolences are with the victim's family and friends at this time.
'Thankfully, incidents like this are extremely unusual in Norwich. We have launched a full investigation into what happened and currently have two individuals under arrest.'

Bouncer shot dead outside a Clapham bar
Kolawole Babadiya, A DOORMAN was shot dead as he shielded a 21-year-old woman at her birthday party while working at Bar SW8 in Wandsworth.
Another man was injured in the shooting.
Friends of the 28-year-old Door supervisor, who lived only yards from the club, said they were still trying to come to terms with his death.
Michael Blair, 34, the owner of SW8 and a good friend of the dead man, said: "It was nothing to do with Kola; he was just protecting this girl, trying to stop her getting hurt. I heard a bullet whistle past me and turned to see him fall to the ground, the girl behind him.
"We didn't know what the noise was at first, but know it was the first round of some sort of machinegun.
"The guy with the gun wasn't firing anywhere near the club but across the road, then somebody started running towards the club and he fired the second round towards us and Kola was basically hit by a stray bullet.
"He's worked for me for two years and he was always the one stopping trouble, not starting it." Witnesses told how they saw Mr Babadiya and the other man covered in blood.
The Doorman was shot in the head and died in hospital. The other victim was shot in the back.
The pavement of Wandsworth Road outside the bar was littered with spent ammunition cases.
A witness, who did not want to be named, said: "I heard the gunshots at around 1.30am. They woke me up. There was one, and then bang, bang, bang... another 10 or so. It was definitely an automatic weapon.
"Then there was screaming and you could hear people running around.
"By the time I got dressed and came out of my flat, there were people around the two victims trying to help them.
"One of the men had been shot in the head and was shaking, but that soon stopped. I heard he died.
"The other one had been shot in the back and he was trying to call his girlfriend on his mobile phone. He got through eventually and then he went still. Another bystander, who also knew Mr Babadiya, said: "He was a bouncer at the club and I think he must have got caught in the gunfire.
I don't think he had anything to do with it.
"There were two birthday parties going on for two girls a 21st, and another birthday for a girl in her twenties. I don't go to SW8. It attracts a lot of people from different areas. All this is down to kids with toys." Officers from Operation Trident, which targets gun crime in the black community in the capital, are investigating the murder.
Detective Chief Inspector Adnan Qureshi said: "This is an appalling loss of another young life.
'He was always the one stopping trouble, not starting it. Kola was one of the good guys '

Pub doorman shot for doing his job properly !
A PUB doorman was shot in the neck for telling a hoodie to uncover his head.
Eric Atkinson, 30, was working at the Derby pub in Widnes Road, Widnes, when two men approached wearing hooded tops.
Mr Atkinson, a married father of one, told them they would need to take their hoods down if they wanted to come in.
The first man complied and headed to the bar but the second barged his way into the foyer and began to stare aggressively at Mr Atkinson.
Mr Atkinson, a fully licensed doorman who works as a delivery driver by day, decided to eject the man. As he escorted him from the foyer, he pulled a small handgun from his waistband and fired a shot.
Mr Atkinson managed to wrestle him outside but another three shots were fired, one of which struck the doorman in the neck.
Detective Inspector Paul Rumney, of Cheshire Constabulary, stressed that Mr Atkinson was not the victim of a feud or turf war but was targeted simply for trying to enforce the pub dress code.
He said: "There is no evidence that Eric was targeted. They approached the pub as customers and the gunman's associate has gone into the pub and to the bar.
"Eric has done everything perfectly lawfully and he has correctly challenged a person about a breach of dress code."
Mr Atkinson's parents, Susan and Eric Atkinson, fought back tears as they appealed for information.
Mrs Atkinson, 49, said: "Eric is a hard-working lad who loves his wife and 11-year-old daughter.
He's never done a thing wrong in his life and he would do anything for anybody.

John Alele examines recent threats in the modern day Security Environment.
The number of crimes involving knives, firearms and imitation firearms is reportedly in the increase in the UK.
Join me in the months to come as I take a closer look at the so-called ‘UK Weapons Culture’ and Government-backed initiatives designed to combat it – before detailing a current project that examines recent threats to Door Supervisors and Retail Security Officers in the modern day Security Environment.
In the course of my research, I will be communicating with Assessor and Consultant Geoff Woodcock and Andy Perkins and Claire Vanneck from Leicester University, who have researched violent assaults on door staff. Mark Toner, author of Stop it on the Door - Professional Doorman’ DVD and Jacqui Kennedy, director of regulatory services at Birmingham City Council
“Of the 839 murders in England and Wales in the 12 months ending on 28 November 2005 – the most recent period for which Home Office figures are available – 29% involved sharp instruments including knives, blades or swords”
Now, to mention but a few, On Sunday, 10 February 2008, a doorman was shot at a nightclub in west Dublin in the early hours of the morning. The 38-year-old was shot in the neck while working at the Red Cow in Clondalkin.”
“On a chill Wednesday afternoon in January, an argument broke out between a group of men who were dining in Nando's chicken restaurant in Shepherd's Bush, London. A gun was produced and four shots fired. One man was killed and a waitress injured. According to Nando's official statement, the restaurant "was in the wrong place at the wrong time".
“In the Event Security sub-sector, meanwhile, the number of weapons found during crowd searches is also on the increase. One of the most extreme incidents occurred last January, resulting in the shooting of two stewards by an armed gang during a concert by award-winning rap star Kanye West at the NEC in Birmingham. One of the stewards was shot three times.”

The Man At The Door ! John Alele 'writes'
It was indeed a bright summer Friday evening, the time was 1645hrs.
At 1800hrs, I am scheduled to have dinner at The Savoy Hotel London with a business associate.
I gazed out of my office window to see the Friday evening crowd making their way to the various recreational locations the city offers.
At exactly 1655hrs, the phone on my desk rang.
John Alele, can I help? I answered.
Troy Webster, we have resolved that we require an additional ten Door Supervisors for tonight beginning from 1800hrs.
I took a quick look at the daily reserve list on my desk to realise we have a total of fifteen experienced Door Supervisors on standby for the evening.
At CedarOak Security, we take protection of your business and employees very seriously.

Confronting your fears - Part 1
When the front door of my apartment was closed behind me and I stepped out into the dark cold winter morning in response to an urgent call, I knew I was in for a very long hectic day.
The time was 0234 hours.
Making my way to my car at the parking lot, it occurred to me that I had barely 15 hours to organise a package of 38 experienced Security Officers for a 12-hour assignment starting at 1730 hours.
Demand for our security officers has risen immensely having established a reputation for quality. We are indeed operating at almost full capacity.
I worked out a plan as I navigated my way to London via the motor way but first I have to deal with the issue at hand.
A mobile patrol officer has taken ill in the middle of his shift. Our 24-hour Control Centre has been unable to find a replacement and as such, I had to be drafted in.
Heading towards the town center an hour and half later, I deliberated on my plans for the day.
A bleep from my pager announced the arrival of a new message and was followed almost immediately by a loud voice on the radio.
Charlie One, Charlie One. Are you receiving please over?
Affirmative, I responded.
626’ Activation 626. Message follows please, over.
Roger that, Charlie One standing by. I responded.
Pulling over and swinging the patrol vehicle 180 degrees around, I headed for location 626.
Location 626 is a massive factory site located in the east part of town and surrounded by a huge perimeter fence; it has three entry points and six exit points.
One would be tempted to think that there could be an easier way of dealing with this. Simply drive down there, go into the premises and find out what is going on. WRONG! There are professional security procedures to follow when responding to alarm activation.
These procedures have been designed to minimise the risk of injury, loss of life and damage to property.
A mobile patrol security officer must be acquainted to these security procedures and must possess the technique of applying these procedures efficiently.
Join me in Confronting Your Fears – Part 2 as I make known and analyse these procedures.

Caught in the act !
Standing at 6ft 4 with a massive passion for security and an air of authority around him, Jonathan Fairweather is by all standards an intelligent man, a family man and a professional security connoisseur.
Noise enforcement, static security, undercover surveillance, retail loss prevention, reception security, door supervision, close protection, private investigations or VIP security, Jonathan is indeed the man for the job!
The moment you assign a job to Jonathan Fairweather, consider the job professionally executed and certainly to a very high standard.
I met Jonathan Fairweather for the very first time one cold December morning, when he walked into my office in response to a retail security guard advert I had placed somewhere on the internet.
He had just been sacked without a reference after seven years as a security supervisor in a previous employment. Jonathan Fairweather was caught in the act!
At about 3am on that faithful day, Jonathan had fallen asleep whilst on duty as a security guard when his contract manager showed up unexpectedly. When Jonathan was confronted about his unacceptable behaviour on duty, his response was “I am more than prepared to kiss your job ‘goodbye’.
Jonathan Fairweather had worked relentlessly for this security firm for a period of 7 years in a not going anywhere kind of scenario. His extra ordinary skills as a proficient security professional and his enormous passion for the industry had gone totally unobserved during this period. To make matters worse, Jonathan had not received a pay rise in 6 years. Jonathan was truly suffering from lack of job satisfaction that is why he was prepared to kiss the job ‘goodbye’ without much ado.
Jonathan Fairweather had become just a man in uniform.
