Even if he didn`t have a bag full of bang, it`s a lesson not to jump over the ticket barrier!:D
Really really shocked that the police opened fire in a crowded place like that - it`s scary that it`s a situation where it`s necessary. :( Hopefully that`s one down three to go.

Why didn`t they shoot for his legs? He would have been more useful dead than alive so maybe a `stopping` shot rather than a volley of fire should have been the order of the day.

As I understand it, the police have been told to shoot to kill, so that no devices can be detonated if someone is just wounded.

I would imagine the brief to the officers here are bring em down before they can set off the bomb that `may` be strapped round his waist.
I think the death shot is better in this situation, a wound could cause more deaths to innocent bystanders.
Put yourself in that postition, you would want that f***** dead, just in case.
This is of course only if you are 100% sure you have the scumbag that you`re looking for.

That`s what I think. He was being pursued, looks like the police felt like they had a good idea of who they were chasing and couldn`t risk the lives of the people around.
