Stockwell Tube alert
'SUICIDE BOMBER' SHOT
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. 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."
Sky News Crime Correspondent Martin Brunt said: "There is no word on whether he has been killed or simply injured."
Air and road ambulance crews have been sent to the scene.
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 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."
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."
Tube services on the Victoria and Northern Lines were suspended at the request of police..

I think that the police are within their rights though. What if they hadn't shot him & He'd have killed numerous, even one person. |

"One of them was carrying a black handgun - it looked like an automatic - they pushed him to the floor, bundled on top of him and unloaded five shots into him."
Another witness on the train has said on 5live he ran onto the train whilst being chased by 3 plain clothes police offices and tripped / was pushed to the floor and shot 5 times, it appears they must have had more than just a hunch. |
