Here’s their full report in case you can’t get on to the site:
Man shot by armed police on Tube
A man has been shot at Stockwell Tube station by armed police officers, police confirm.
Passengers were evacuated from a Tube train on the Northern Line station in south London after the incident.Passenger Mark Whitby told BBC News he had seen an Asian man shot five times by “plain-clothes police officers”.
Services on the Victoria and Northern lines have been suspended following a request by the police, London Underground said.
Police are hunting four would-be bombers after Thursday’s London blasts.
The bombers fled after detonators went off, causing small blasts, but failed to detonate the bombs themselves.
Mr Whitby, told BBC News: “I saw an Asian guy run onto the train hotly pursued by three plain-clothes police officers.
“One of them was carrying a black handgun - it looked like an automatic - they pushed him to the floor, bundled on top of him and unloaded five shots into him.”
Passenger Briony Coetsee said: “We were on the Tube and then we suddenly heard someone say, ‘Get out, get out’ and then we heard gunshots.”

We got one of the bastards.

Serf,
I hope so. I hope it wasn’t some kid who thought the police were on to him for the bar of chocolate he nicked this morning.
