Shot London Man Not Involved in Bombings

According to London authorities, the man shot and killed in the London subway was not involved in the terrorist attacks. Still, it strikes me as a bit strange that an innocent man wearing a heavy overcoat would run away from armed police during an obviously tension-filled time.

Next time the police tell a suspect to stop, I think he will stop. The question is whether this will change London tactics when it comes to stopping potential suicide bombers.

*Update*
It's clear now that the man who was killed was Brazilian and spoke little to no English. Not a good start for the London police on their new terrorist enforcement policies.
