It is becoming apparent, it would seem, that the shooting was
probably not necessary, and the police appear to be saying
precious little about it. It is sounding to me more and more like
a monumental screw-up.

Best wait until the investigation has been carried out, until then
we are just guessing.

The police have now admitted that the man they shot was unconnected with
the bombings.

"We believe we now know the identity of the man shot at Stockwell
Underground station by police on Friday 22nd July 2005, although he is
still subject to formal identification. We are now satisfied that he
was not connected with the incidents of Thursday 21st July 2005. For
somebody to lose their life in such circumstances is a tragedy and one
that the Metropolitan Police Service regrets."
