Graffiti kills again

This time in the London Underground -- two teens killed while running from security after being spotted tagging.

Two young men were killed by a London underground train while fleeing security staff who allegedly saw them spraying graffiti, police said.

The two, aged 19 and 21, were hit by a westbound train at Barking station in east London around 11:00 pm (2300 GMT) Friday, but they might also have been struck by a second train, a British Transport Police (BTP) spokesman said.

"One train killed them but I believe they came into contact with another moving train," he said.

Two weeks ago, a 13-old-boy was killed by a LIRR train where he may have been painting graffiti.
