I read speculation that the dead man COULD have been testing police defenses, seeing what they can get away with.

if the idea is 'shoot to kill' you fire enough shots to make sure you finish the job, end of story

I agree with the police on this one. i am sure glad i wasn't in the position of the cop. Now why didn't they take this guy out as he opened the front door of the building with a heavy overcoat on? Where was the sharp shooter. Why did the cops let him walk the streets, jump over gate and enter tube? this is very bad police work if they felt this guy had a bomb on him. He should have been confronted at the front of his house!
