According to this article he was shot by plainclothes police officers. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't that mean they were wearing civilian clothes? If so, he probably ran because he panicked. If he didn't here what they said (entirely possible if he was in a crowded area when they initially yelled at him to stop), and all he saw were people in civilian clothes pointing handguns at him, could he really be blamed if he panicked and ran?
Frankly I can't agree with shooting someone who may or may not have a bomb. Human life isn't something that should be taken so quickly, and without any real evidence. Although a lot of you may not agree with me, I would rather be killed by a suicide bomber because police didn't fire having no proof that he had a bomb, than live in a country where they'll shoot you purely for looking like they may or may not have a bomb. As soon as you let the paranoia go that far, the terrorists have already won.
