It is the photograph that has dominated the world’s front pages, casting an astonishing light on the fresh-faced killers who brought terror to the heart of India’s most vibrant city. Now it can be revealed how the astonishing picture came to be taken by a newspaper photographer who hid inside a train carriage as gunfire erupted all around him.…
But what angered Mr D’Souza almost as much were the masses of armed police hiding in the area who simply refused to shoot back. “There were armed policemen hiding all around the station but none of them did anything,” he said. “At one point, I ran up to them and told them to use their weapons. I said, ‘Shoot them, they’re sitting ducks!’ but they just didn’t shoot back.”
This is so odd that the police did not fire back; I suppose this was such a shocking and extraordinary event that it must have caught the police off guard- Or maybe the Indian people are so peaceful that shooting back was not an option they thought they had?
This is an absolute tragedy. My Deepest condolences goes to the families of the victims. This nonsense must end.
