Police officers from the team involved in the fatal shooting of
Brazilian Jean Charles de Menezes did not believe he posed 'an
immediate threat'.
Senior sources in the Metropolitan Police have told The Observer that
members of the surveillance team who followed de Menezes into Stockwell
underground station in London felt that he was not about to detonate a
bomb, was not armed and was not acting suspiciously. It was only when
they were joined by armed officers that his threat was deemed so great
that he was shot seven times.
