The police chased him down five of them wrestled him to the ground and one of them shot him.

I heard that on the news, too. Five cops tackled him, had him on the ground, and then they blow his head off. Admittedly we don't have all the facts, but that seems to be the most disturbing part in all this.

They wanted to make sure he couldn't detonate the bomb he looked to be carrying.

You would feel at ease sitting on to of a suicide bomber?

They were worried that with the flick of a switch he would blow them all up. Once you are fairly certain that a guy is a suicide bomber... leaves house full of them, wearing heavy coat, runs from cops, gets on train,... it makes sense to shoot the guy in the head as soon as you can so that he can't detonate a bomb. A bomb where the cops have no idea how it works or how it might be detonated.
