LONDON — Eyewitnesses to the killing of a suspected bomber in London said the man looked “petrified” as he sought to escape the clutches of police.
Mark Whitby said he was sitting on the Tube at Stockwell Station (search) on Friday when the man ran in to the train car. “As he ran, he was hotly pursued by what I knew to be three plain-clothes police officers,” Whitby told BBC News 24.
"As the man got on the train I looked at his face. He looked from left to right, but he basically looked like a cornered rabbit, like a cornered fox,” Whitby said. "He looked absolutely petrified.”
"He half-tripped, was half-pushed to the floor,” Whitby said. "One of the police officers was holding a black automatic pistol in his left hand. They held it down to him and unloaded five shots into him. I saw it. He's dead, five shots, he's dead."
Teri Godly, who was also in the train car when the suspected bomber boarded, said eight or nine police officers with shotguns boarded after him and started shouting at passengers to get out.
"People started screaming and we all started running quite calmly up the stairs. There were six or seven gun shots behind us. It was very surreal. No one was pushing or shoving. We were in a state of shock,” Godly said. "It was only afterwards that I realized how lucky we had been."
Chris Wells, a 28-year-old company manager, said he was traveling on the Victoria Line (search) towards Vauxhall when he left the train at Stockwell.
He saw about 20 police officers, some of them armed, rushing into the station before a man jumped over the barriers with police giving chase.

1. Obey the law!
I just wish the bullets would have been coated with pigs blood. Then he never would have received his virgins.
Or:
E. The police realize a ridiculously scary number of their countryman would end up being more concerned over whether this guy was stroked enough while incarcerated than the safety of their own nation....
Oh wait, it can't be E., that's this country...
I don't think they would have capped him if they weren't in fear of their lives. They would have wanted to have a nice long chat with him. Why wouldn't they?
WOW! Those Bobbies don't fool around!
Take note, NYPD Transit cops.
"They held it down to him and unloaded five shots into him."
but, but.... this is so not-British !
Bump.
LMAO!! I loved that routine....

"Don't run from the police. Because if they have to chase you, they are bringing an ass kicking with them!"

An answer to your question.
If running and screaming is calm behaviour in London, I'd like to know how they behave when they are upset.
it's too bad they couldnt have caught the pos alive. Then they could torture IT for some info before finally BEHEADING IT!!!(MEMO to London Bobbies, dont forget to arrest the family!)
One can only hope that they had time to tell this scumbag that the bullets killing him were dipped in pig blood.
Nope! He had a "vision"....They all looked like our favorite HELEN UNOWHOO..............LOL.......
"They held it down to him and unloaded five shots into him "
Actually they were well behaved.
If it was me - I would kick him afterwards !
Clever!
Thank you... yes, it says he was wearing a bomb belt with wires coming out of his clothing. Liberal press is omitting this small (sarcasm) fact in the reporting.
Article from USAToday has you believe this animal did NOTHING and was gunned down by the police:
"Arrest made in connection with latest London attacks
LONDON (AP) — Hours after officers shot and killed a man they chased through a London subway station, police announced an arrest Friday in connection with Thursday's bombing attempts and released four photographs of suspects."-usa today
