Heck, *one* shot could have sufficed if they just wanted to kill him, but
they believed they were trying to prevent a detonation (you places yer
bets, you takes yer chances). If, like the officers involved in this
shooting you think the guy can detonate a bomb, why risk it?

I had the impression that the task of the cop that grabbed him was to pin
his arms and hands in case he tried to reach for a detonator, while someone
else was responsible for taking the shots. And I'm sure his ears may still
be ringing...

No bomb. Just panic.

It is called New Scotland Yard nowdays.I dont remember how many years
ago it was,but the old Scotland Yard moved into a new building,(or some
new buildings) whatever.I think it has been at least twenty years ago,I
could be mistaken though.
