Shots reported at London Tube station as manhunt goes on
By Simon Freeman, Times Online


A suspected suicide bomber was shot by police at a London Underground station this morning and unconfirmed reports suggested that he had been killed.

Passengers were evacuated from a train on the Northern Line at Stockwell, south London, at 10.30am after hearing what appeared to be shots being fired.

A witness, Briony Coetsee, told Sky News: "We were on the Tube, someone shouted 'get out, get out' and then shots were fired."

Unconfirmed reports suggest that police acting on a tip-off from a member of the public followed a young man onto the platform. It is believed that the man was attempting to get on Northern Line Tube when the shots were fired.

The station was sealed off to the public and a number of surrounding roads were closed.

Metropolitan Police were unable to provide any further details....
