The London Police just confirmed 4 dead, 20 injured.

4 now.... whoa that's awful

I am a bit confused. Was the shooting only done by the police? Either way, incredibly tragic.

Yes.....the terrorist first used a car to run over dozens of people....then when the car crashed, he got out with a large knife and started attacking people, the police and anti terrorists squads then shot and killed him.

Thanks Lee. That is how I read it, but I was a little confused by the title. Crazy how 20 plus people were injured and killed with a vehicle and a knife.

 

[C. Lee]

I changed the title. Until a few minutes ago when I saw a London policeman discussing it outside of NEW SCOTLAND YARD I don't think there was any official recap of what had happened.

Thanks, at first when I saw the story on tv they were saying shooting.

Makes perfect sense, as there was a shooting. No way to know who did what until the police tell us.

 

[KnightErrant]

Often a scene can appear to be something but is unclear until details are properly sourced.

Media at moments like this often report speculation and best guesses.

My condolences to the families of those that died in this horrendous attack.

Westminster bridge is usually pretty busy with commuters and tourists. If you mount the sidewalk at speed like this suspect did then you could easily hurt people in large numbers.

 

[KnightErrant]

Just reading that the Police Officer who was stabbed has died,terribly sad as is it with the other four who have died also so far.

Awful doesn't begin to describe how it must be for those directly affected.

Scary that terrorists these days don't need to be trained or know how to make bombs. Just a car and kitchen knife to destroy peoples lives.

They're cowards. It's easy to kill innocent people. If they were real men, they would fight battles against soldiers. But they would get their asses kicked, so this is the easier way.

Cowards call that "strategy."

I'm sick of these jihadist mother****ers.

****.

Sympathies to the injured and their families.

London had escaped this stuff for a while due to decent intelligence and a fair few averted attacks/plans. R.I.P. to the victims and all my best to their families.
