MENEZES COP KILLS AGAIN A POLICE marksman who shot dead Brazilian Jean Charles de Menezes on the London Underground has killed a suspected armed robber, it was revealed last night. The cop was one of a team involved in the shooting of unarmed Mr de Menezes at Stockwell last year. On Tuesday night the officer opened fire on Robert Hames in New Romney, Kent, after the suspect had fired a shot at police. Hames, 30, was gunned down as he and other members of a gang tried to snatch cash from security guards. He ignored a police order to lay down his sawn-off shotgun and fired at them. A sawn-off double-barrelled gun with one spent round and one live round in its barrels were seized at the scene after Hames fell, fatally wounded. A senior source inside Scotland Yard said: The officer who shot de Menezes is also the officer who killed the armed robber in this latest incident. The circumstances were entirely different. The man who was shot was warned. The Yard also confirmed that one officer involved in the Kent shooting has since been relieved of firearms duties, as is routine in such circumstances.

I hope you feel good there. Imagine I have just moved in my new home. It is a big house and my children love it. There are three bedrooms, a big kitchen with a dining room, two bathrooms with toilets included and of course an awesome living room. My personal favorite is the living room, where I could hang my paintings. You know I love to paint. I even have my own study room, where I can work.
We have a big garden as well, where Foxy and Joey can play. They have their own doghouses and they seem like it very much. There are some trees and flowers too, and I m planning to build a swimming pool there. Since we have just moved in, I do not know anything about the neighborhood, but they seem nice, decent people. I m going to surprise them with some home-made cakes tomorrow. Please write me as soon as you can. I cannot wait to hear about you and the others.
