LONDON, July 22 -- London police have confirmed to news organizations 
that police shot and killed a man at the Stockwell subway station in 
south London Friday morning.

No reliable details were immediately available.

One British new outlet said police killed an attempted suicide bomber. 
Another said they were pursuing an individual in connection with 
Thursday's bombings in London.

A witness told BBC radio that "there was a lot of shouting and then 
gunfire" at the station at about 10 a.m. local time (5 a.m. EDT)

<>Another said the man was being pursued by at least three officers. "He 
half-tripped as he ran. They pushed him onto the floor and fired five 
shots into him . . . He's dead."
