For the past few years this part of South London has been bombarded by scaremongering headlines about how many handguns are in the hands of criminals. In all that time there has never been a case of any criminals chasing an innocent stranger onto the tube and pinning him to the floor and pumping five rounds into the back of his head.
If this was the script of some kind of dark and twisted black comedy it would be far from funny. As it is reality it is not only tragic but deeply disturbing.

I apoligise for this innaccuracy, I wasnt trying to be sensationalist. It now turns out from what the coroner said today that he was in fact pinned to the floor and shot seven times through the head and once through the shoulder.
Sorry for any confusion that this may have caused.
Assuming that our herioc SO19 cops were carrying standard Glock pistols I think that 8 bullets is an entire magazine? But of course they werent out of control, oh no definately not......
