Passengers evacuated from the south London station described seeing armed police chasing a suspect before opening fire. There were unconfirmed reports that police believe the man who was shot was one of the attackers involved in yesterday's incidents.
Passenger Mark Whitby, speaking to BBC News 24, reported the man was shot five times at close range after he had jumped on a train at Stockwell. He had been sitting on the train reading his paper as it was stationary with its doors open in Stockwell station when he heard people shouting "get down, get down!"
He said that Asian man ran on to the train pursued by three plainclothes police officers.
He said the man tripped and was also pushed to the floor. He said: "One of the police officers was holding a black automatic pistol in his left hand. They held it down to him and unloaded five shots into him. I saw it. He's dead, five shots, he's dead."
He reported the man did not seem to be carrying a weapon or wearing a rucksack.
Passenger Briony Coetsee, 23, said: "We were on the Tube when we suddenly heard someone say 'get out, get out' and then we heard gunshots - someone was shooting.
"Somebody in plain clothes who I thought was a civilian cop had his gun out and started shooting and told us to get out."
Chris Wells, a 28-year-old company manager, said he was travelling on the Victoria Line towards Vauxhall when he left the train at Stockwell.
He saw about 20 police officers, some of them armed, rushing into the station before a man jumped over the barriers with police giving chase.
He said: "There were at least 20 of them (officers) and they were carrying big black guns.
"The next thing I saw was this guy jump over the barriers and the police officers were chasing after him and everyone was just shouting 'get out, get out"'.
Christopher Scaglione, 35, a fashion designer, was also on a Victoria Line tube train shortly before the incident.
He said: "The train didn't stop at Vauxhall and so I got out at Stockwell. I was just on my way out when I heard at first a little bang, not like a bomb more like a gun, and then people were shouting. People then started to run and I heard two or three more bangs like people shooting."
A large area around Stockwell Tube Station, an interchange for the Northern and Victoria lines in south London, was cordoned off and traffic approaching the area ground to a halt.
Tube services on the Victoria and Northern lines were suspended following a request by the police, London Underground said.

Police shoot dead bomber who escaped failed attack
BY SIMON FREEMAN, TIMES ONLINE
A man shot dead by police at a Tube station this morning is believed to be one of the bombers who escaped after yesterday's failed quadruple attack across London, police sources have told The Times.
Specialist armed police shot the man five times after he vaulted a ticket barrier at Stockwell station and boarded a stationary Tube train at just after 10am.
Passengers described how an Asian man in a black baseball cap and blue padded coat leapt the barrier and scrambled down escalators onto the platform, stumbling through the open doors.
One witness said that the man had wires trailing from his jacket and what appeared to be a bomb belt.
Police in flak jackets screamed at other passengers on the Victoria Line train to get down before a marksman fired five shots at the suspect, who had fallen or tripped to the ground. He was killed instantly.
There were scenes of confusion as passengers, many in tears from what they had seen, were rapidly evacuated from the station. The Northern and Victoria lines, which both pass through the station, were immediately closed, as were bridges across the Thames.
There are unconfirmed suggestions that the man had earlier been followed through the streets by undercover police officers acting on intelligence following yesterday's failed bombings.
Scotland Yard said: "We can confirm that just after 10am armed officers entered Stockwell Tube station. A man was challenged by officers and subsequently shot. He was pronounced dead at the scene."
Mark Whitby, a witness, said that the man was shot five times at close range after he had jumped on to a train.
He said that the train was standing in the station with its doors open when the Asian man ran on, pursued by three plain-clothes officers. He tripped and was also pushed to the floor and one of the officers shot him five times.
"It was no more than five yards away from where I was sitting . As the man got on the train I looked at his face. He looked from left to right, but he basically looked like a cornered rabbit, like a cornered fox. He looked absolutely petrified.
"He sort of tripped but they were hotly pursuing him and couldn’t have been more than two or three feet behind him at this time He half-tripped, was half-pushed to the floor.
"The policeman nearest to me had the black automatic pistol in his left hand, he held it down to the guy and unloaded five shots into him.
"He looked like a Pakistani but he had a baseball cap on, and quite a thickish coat.
"It was a coat like you would wear in winter, a sort of padded jacket. Maybe he might have had something concealed under there, I don’t know. But it looked out of place in the weather we’ve been having.
"He was quite large, big built, quite a sort of chubby guy."
Anthony Larkin, 30, a care assistant, was about to board a northbound Victoria line train from Stockwell at 10.10am.
"Suddenly a whole load of police officers appeared, some of them in uniform, some without uniform, with guns drawn," he said. "They were shouting: ‘Get down, get down!’
"I froze. Then I heard two gun shots. People were screaming, shouting, crying.
"I saw the guy. He had a beard, he was thin, Asian-looking. He was trying to board a train.
"He was wearing jeans, T-shirt and a jacket. You could see wires coming out the front. Wires like a bomb belt. They shot him twice in the front."
Passenger Briony Coetsee, 23, was on the train as it waited at the platform.
"We suddenly heard someone say ’get out, get out’ and then we heard gunshots - someone was shooting," she said.
"Somebody in plain clothes who I thought was a civilian cop had his gun out and started shooting and told us to get out."
Danny Stockwell said: "We were sitting on the platform for about three or four minutes and then we heard a lot of shouting. Everyone was looking around at what was going on. A guy jumped on the train through the door to my lright.
"An undercover police officer came through door on my left, the guy turned and tried to get out. I heard four dull bangs."
Chris Martin was waiting on the northbound Northern line platform at Stockwell when several men burst on to the platform about 20 yards from him.
"There was blind panic, with people shouting and screaming and just running away.
"I didn’t actually see the gun, but I heard this ‘bang, bang, bang’."
Stockwell is one stop south of Oval, the scene of one of yesterday's four attempted bombings. The station was sealed off to the public and a number of surrounding roads were closed.
The shooting came as police were hunting for the four bombers behind the failed attempt to cause more carnage in the capital yesterday.
Four men tried to explode suspected rucksack bombs at Oval, Shepherd’s Bush and Warren Street Tube stations and on a bus in Hackney, East London. All failed to detonate the main explosives and no-one was hurt.
A statement posted today on an Islamic website in the name of an al-Qaeda-linked group claimed responsibility for the latest blasts.
The group, Abu Hafs al Masri Brigade, also claimed responsibility for the July 7 bombings which killed 52 people and four suicide bombers. The statement’s authenticity could not be immediately verified.
A hoax bomb threat at Whitechapel’s East London Mosque at 10.25am this morning led to the evacuation of 200 people – half of them children – while police sniffer dog units scoured the building for suspect packages.
Up to 7,000 worshippers are expected to attend Friday prayers at 1.30pm, following the lifting of the police cordon on Whitechapel road at 11.30am.
