Just breaking now on Sky.

This took place at a tube station in south London.
This will go on and on till Briton wakes up and begins mass deportations.
Another string of attacks, or someone they were hunting from yesterday? (if such a thing is known yet...)
Thanks. Bump!
I thought the cops in England weren't allowed to carry guns?
I don't know. First reports are just coming in. Details are extremely scarse.
Great news. One down, lots more to go.
I appologize for the typo in the headline.
Do you think you could fix it up?
Cheers.
Let this be the beginning of a trend to re-arming England.
Will the Brits get over their love affair with islamic fundamentalists after this? Probably not.
Update:
Indications is that the suspect is dead. Police shot to kill. He apparently was about to detonate a bomb.
Tried to shoot him in the central nervous system. Shot him in the head.
So when did America start mass deportations?

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.

Did you think Britain throws roses at guys with guns?
God, I hope this wasn't some nitwit with a laptop in his backpack. If it was, it'll send safety in London back 60 years.
