Innocent man was shot
By SUN ONLINE REPORTER
SCOTLAND Yard Commissioner Sir Ian Blair has apologised for the death of Jean Charles de Menezes.
Mr de Menezes was shot at Stockwell Tube station on Friday after armed police pursued him in the belief he was a suicide bomber.
But the Metropolitan Police have admitted the 27-year-old Brazilian was innocent and had nothing to do with the recent London bombings.
Sir Ian said: "This is a tragedy. The Metropolitan Police accepts full responsibility for this.
"To the family I can only express my deep regrets."
Sir Ian also insisted the death of Mr de Menezes would not change the "shoot-to-kill policy" for tackling suicide bombers.
He added: "Somebody else could be shot. But everything is done to make it right.
"This is a terrifying set of circumstances for individuals to make decisions."
