AP - 2 hours, 8 minutes ago

LONDON - Police on Monday released the names of two of the four men suspected of taking part in the failed July 21 bombings and said a fifth device similar to others used in the botched attacks was found in a west London park. Prime Minister Tony Blair apologized Monday for the police killing of a Brazilian electrician mistaken for a terrorist. Britain's police complaints commission later said the man, Jean Charles de Menezes, 27, was shot eight times.

this story keeps getting sadder. :(
 
I saw that too. Have they mentioned whether it was one or more cops that shot him? Just curious since they said it was seven shots to the head and one in the shoulder.

Ms Socorro said the family were considering suing over the shooting.

Friends of Mr Menezes in London said he had recently returned to Brazil for eight months to be with his father, who was being treated for cancer.

Fausto Soares, 26, said Mr Menezes had been sending money to pay for the treatment and was concerned how the family would now cope financially.

That's sad. You should read some of Rich comments. It doesn't matter if he's innocent. He ran away from the cops, he deserved to be shot. Besides he's from Brazil. He's not even American. He deserved to be treated as a second class citizen if he's even lucky. Too bad he ain't lucky enough to survive this time. Don't you agree Rich?
 
It doesn't matter if he did it or not; the point is somebody was shot, and we all felt safer for a little bit. Surely that's worth the price of one human life?

Next you'll tell me you want to make sure all the Iraqis tortured, raped and murdered by american soldiers are actually terrorists.

As if one human life isn't precious. Next time I hope it's someone related to you. And it ain't going to be one human life. This is just the start and future incidents like these will happen. And you can look forward to it just so you can feel safer a little bit when you and your relatives go to a funeral. You will be safe enough. Or so I hope.
