'SUICIDE BOMBER' SHOT
2005-07-22
Triplicate post, same source, Shep got there first by 3 minutes. I left this one with the comments.
Police have shot a suspected suicide bomber at a tube station in south London. Marksmen opened fire near Stockwell Tube station as passengers were evacuated.
"[BANG!] Stop or we'll shoot!"
It is thought the man was killed. Passenger Briony Coetsee said: "We were on the Tube and then we suddenly heard someone say 'get out, get out' and then we heard gunshots."
"Roger! Wot's that sound?"
"Gunshots, Clive!"
Sky News Crime Correspondent Martin Brunt said: "There is no word on whether he has been killed or simply injured."
"He's dead, Jim Martin"
If the suspect is confirmed to be a suicide bomber, it would mark the fifth attempted terrorist attack on London in less than a day. A Scotland Yard spokesman said: "We can confirm that just after 10am today armed officers shot a male at Stockwell underground station." The man is thought to have been either stepping on to the train or was on the platform. Brunt said: "He was probably shot in the head. There is no confirmation of that."
"Nice shot, Trevor. Jolly good."
"Quite, old boy, quite."
Police have been given orders to shoot to kill if they believe someone is about to detonate a bomb. Brunt said "The officer or officers involved in this clearly felt this suspect was about to detonate a bomb."
"Hmmm... It's July 22nd. Kind of hot outside. That fellow's wearing a parka. There's sweat streaming down his face. He's rolling his eyes and grimacing. There's a lighted fuse between his shoulder blades... Oh, what shall I do?"
Tube services on the Victoria and Northern Lines were suspended at the request of police.
