Confused situation but it appears that a policeman was stabbed and the assailant shot inside the grounds of the Palace of Westminster.

Parliament in lockdown and reports of bodies on Westminster Bridge.

Never made it inside :lou_sad:

It’s my sad duty to report that Michael Gove has not been killed.

Hope that’s not too soon and that all the good guys are OK.

Sky showing people lying on Westminster Bridge and one appeared to have a cover placed over the face.

Eye witness saying 8-10 people injured by vehicle driving along the pavement.

Reports of up to 12 people injured by a car driven down Westminster Bridge, no news of fatalities yet

I am on district line and when we stopped at westminster they were not letting people off as incident outside westminster. So a school party got off as one of the teachers didn’t listen to the announcement.

They didn’t get May…

Any initial thoughts Barry?

:lou_wink_2:

None at all, why ask unless baiting? Let’s wait until the more facts come out shall we? That’s my suggestion.

Middle-aged Asian man reported to be the assailant.

He has been shot after stabbing a policeman inside the grounds of the Palace of Westminster and apparently mowing down pedestrians on Westminster Bridge.

Apparently the assailant has been described as ‘middle aged’.

Can’t wait for Trump to tweet about this.

I heard he was “thick set”

Sounds like one of the people run over has died at the scene.

Culturaly thick set though, not practicing.

The trick on BBC is how detailed a desciption you can give without mentioning skin colour or ethnicity. The bro I was watching was really sweating. “He was thick set. Erm, middle aged. Wearing black. Holding a knife. Erm. His hands looked medium sized, I would say. Yeah, medium. Medium to large. I would say he wore about a size 10 shoe.”

Great. Can’t wait for wall-to-wall 24 hour coverage of this.
