MAN SHOT DEAD BY POLICE ON TUBE
Police have said they shot a man dead at Stockwell Tube station in south London after he was challenged and refused to obey an order. Met Police Commissioner Sir Ian Blair said the shooting was 'directly linked' to the ongoing London bombs inquiry. Police have said it is not yet clear if he was one of four bombing suspects shown on newly released CCTV footage.

The man was under police observation because he had emerged from a house that was being watched following Thursday's attacks, a Scotland Yard spokesman said. He was followed by surveillance officers to Stockwell station, where his clothing and behaviour added to their suspicions, he added. Police warned the man, who ran on to the station platform. Witnesses said the officers opened fire as he jumped on to a train. Sir Ian told a press conference: 'I need to make clear that any death is deeply regrettable but as I understand the situation the man was challenged and refused to obey police instructions'. |
