Tom Griffin (London, OK): The inquest into the death of Jean Charles De Menezes heard for the first time today from one of the firearms officers who carried out the shooting.
C12 recalled that the innocent Brazilian got up and walked towards him - and kept moving even after he shouted "armed police" and pointed his gun at him.
He said: "He continued on his forward momentum towards me.
"It was at that stage that I just formed the opinion that he's going to detonate, he's going to kill us and I have to act now in order to stop this from happening."
The hearing came as the De Menezes family prepare to take part in tomorrow's annual United Friends and Family Campaign procession from Trafalgar Square to Downing Street.
