Explosions in London?
After reading all this about him being pinned and such. I am inclined to remember about bias in the papers, and always checking with other sources. Perhaps it is written to be misleading, so it sounds worse than it was. As it is written it sounds as if the police killed him in cold blood, but there is probably more we are missing.

Once you're lost in twillights's blue
You don't find your way, the way finds you...
Tempt the fates, beware the smile
It hides all the teeth, my dear,
What's behind them...
So glad you could stay
Forever
He steps between the trees, a crooked man
There's blood on the blade
Don't take his hand
You warm by the firelight, in twilight's blue
Shadows creep & dance the walls
He's creeping too..
So glad you could stay
Forever

Well if that's how it happened, then it's perfectly understandable.
This is why you should never run from the police.

They shot him 8 times. That really was too much. And the police were plain clothes so who knows what he thought was going on/who they were.
Open your eyes to nights and days, you close them up and float away
and somehow inbetween you've got to master lying to yourself
you back the cause, get out of school, you get a job, the job gets you
and somehow every day you end up serving somebody else
now if that ain't panic that you're feeling, then you damn well better start
you can drive it into that head of yours with the hammer in your heart.
And it's alriiiiiiiight now, take the world and make it yours again.

Usually police must identify themselves as a police officer, so they probably shouted "stop, police!" or something. They have a shoot to kill policy invoked I saw on the news, so that's probably why they shot 8 times.

It's only shoot to kill if they have good reason to think he's about to blow himself up.
I know we don't know all the details, but I still don't like it.

Apparently now they're saying that he didn't wear a bulky coat, and that he didn't jump over the turnstiles...
