If the reports are true then I think this is quite a lot, especially considering the guy was apparently already on the floor. My initial thought train went something like this:
“Holy shit they shot a suspected terrorist… But couldn’t they have just arrested him? If the bomb was on a timer it would go off anyway. And shooting the guy is fine if they think it’s the only option, but five times? And isn’t shooting at a guy with explosives a bit dangerous anyway?”
But I don’t know anything, and this might be very premature of me. I suppose you should reserve final judgement until we know the full facts. For the moment I guess we have to be thankful that more people weren’t hurt.
Interesting discussion at Shot by both sides.
Hmm, and according to Sky News,
Initial examinations though, said [Sky correspondent Martin] Brunt, did not discover any explosives on the suspect.
Update: The Yorkshire Ranter has a plausible theory as to why there were five shots.
I just wanted to say I how much I love Google Ads. The one below says “Five times: Compare retailers, read reviews, & Calculate the lowest price.”
I wonder how much they charge for five bullets to the brain? Anyway, everything will be fine here in London once arrive.
…that was supposed to be once the Belgians arrive. Sorry!
1 for sorrow 2 for joy
3 for a girl 4 for a boy
5 for jumping a ticket barrier in Stockwell? Surely not.
