Headline:
I was shot three times by racist for wearing this Obama shirt
Synopsis:
A man told today how he was shot three times in the street for wearing a Barack Obama T-shirt.
Dube Egwuatu was buying a mobile telephone top-up card in a south London off-licence when the gunman confronted him and glared at the top, which carries an image of the Democrat US presidential candidate underneath the legend "Believe".
The man then launched into a tirade of racist slurs, shouting: "I f***ing hate n*****s" and urging 36-year-old Mr Egwuatu to leave the shop with him.
