POLICE SHOOT SUSPECTED SUICIDE BOMBER
Police have shot a suspected suicide bomber near a tube station in south London.
Marksmen opened fire near Stockwell Tube station as passengers were evacuated. It was not clear what the suspect's injuries were.
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."
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.
