mrph"A man shot dead by police hunting the bombers behind Thursday's London attacks was unconnected to the incidents, police have confirmed.http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4711021.stmA Scotland Yard statement said the shooting was a "tragedy" which was regretted by the Metropolitan Police."
From the initial news report on the shooting, the eyewitness description:
"One of them was carrying a black handgun - it looked like an automatic - they pushed him to the floor, bundled on top of him and unloaded five shots into him"http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4706787.stm
Combine the two and you've got a very unfortunate PR incident for the police. And a tragedy for the poor bastard they shot and his family, of course.
