What's going on? I'm on my lunch break so I'm clueless!

MorrisZapp · 22/03/2017 15:08

Are any radio stations covering this?

sonlypuppyfat · 22/03/2017 15:08

Terrifying

Maudlinmaud · 22/03/2017 15:10

Was just about to post this. Doesn't look/sound good

Early indications are:

A police officer stabbed and injured

The perpetrator shot by police not sure if dead or not)

Around 5 people mown down by a 4x4 on nearby Westminster Bridge.

5 people deliberately run over by a 4x4.
Assailant with knife got through the gate and stabbed a policeman. Shit dead by 2 plain clothes officers.
2 events.
Probably connected?

RufusTheRenegadeReindeer · 22/03/2017 15:14

Goodness!

Hope everyone is ok

endofthelinefinally · 22/03/2017 15:15

Shot.

RufusTheRenegadeReindeer · 22/03/2017 15:15

Apart from the assailants obviously

I really dont care about them

Butterymuffin · 22/03/2017 15:16

Bloody hell. Only found out from this thread. Awful.

sparechange · 22/03/2017 15:18

A friend who works in Parliament has said the assailant wasn't shot dead, and has been taken to hospital

They've all been sent back to their departments and Parliament remains on lockdown

BBC newsnight ed has tweeted a similar chain of events to endoftheline

In his 40's according to sky news -Asian male both him and the police officer he stabbed being treated and the pedestrians ran over- must have been terrifying for them :(

FlappinSwazy · 22/03/2017 15:19

Where is the car driver?

Is he shot or was the man that stabbed the police officer shot?

More people shot inside Westminster. 12 run over on the bridge the BBC say.

Bellerophon · 22/03/2017 15:22

Sorry - I said "hope everyone is ok/well"

WayfaringStranger · 22/03/2017 15:23

Apart from the assailant, I think everyone is alive. Am I right?

ButterflyFree · 22/03/2017 15:23

@Maudlinmaud translation of what @Bellerophon wrote is 'hope everyone is well'.

Rather unnecessary to write it in Arabic.
