American bystander shot in the head as police opened fire during London Bridge attack

.

(EXCERPT)

An American bystander was caught in the crossfire in the moments following the attacks on London Bridge on Saturday.

According to NBC News, the wounded American was expected to survive despite the injuries.

“I got people to start evacuating inside from our little garden that we have … and got people to come into the bar and to go into toilets, hide under tables and hide in our cellar where we keep all our stock,” said 20-year-old Fabio Lamas, who works at a pub when he saw men in body armor with knives.

Lamas explained that the American man was hit by the gunfire as he was standing near a window with friends inside the pub. His friends told Lamas that they were doctors living in the city and were from either New Jersey or New York.

I can't blame the cops or the guy.

The blame lays squarely on the perpetrators and their crazy beliefs.

I'm glad he will be ok.
