London Police Kill Man at Subway Station

Police shot and killed a man wearing a thick coat at a London subway station Friday, a day after the jittery city was hit by its second wave of terrorist attacks in two weeks.

The man died after being shot by officers at the Stockwell subway station in south London, police said.

Passengers said a man, described as South Asian, ran onto a train at Stockwell station in south London. Witnesses said plainclothes police chased him, he tripped, and police then shot him.
