Maggie, the man survived.

Unfortunately, the young man they shot on the underground (Brazilian, darkish skinned, mistaken identity) died. They also lied about him too.

Unfortunately our police have developed what appears to be a habit of releasing immediate statements which turn out to be untrue, followed by a revised statement a day or so later and then a few days after that we get the truth.

Initially after the Brazilian lad was shot, they claimed they had shouted at him to stop and he ran into the station, jumped over the barrier and onto the train.
It was later revealed, by eyewitnesses that no warning had been shouted and the lad in fact had been running for a train....nor did he jump over the barrier.

The police ran onto the stationary train ....then two of them dragged him to the floor and the third pumped 7 bullets into him at point blank range.

Turns out, he had come out of the block of flats they'd been watching.....unfortunately, one of the poeple watching the flats had nipped off for a quick piss and wasn't sure if he had come from the right flat, but hey, he had dark skin and that made him suspicious.

Later when they published pictures of him, they showed a picture which made him look quite pale. That same picture was later shown to be of a much darker hue. The suggestion is that they altered the picture to off set the accusations of racism.
