shooting outside parliament

Breaking on the Huff and Beeb

They'll be wanting to keep it quiet until family and colleagues are informed. That's serious news that could have an effect on officers out dealing with this incident.

Penfold I hope your loved ones are ok.

A primary school local to us has about 50 children visiting parliament, who are subject to the lock down. The school has tweeted to say all in good spirits and they are singing songs.

That's heartbreaking, they must be so scared and their poor parents must be in bits.

I'm in shock, I walk across that bridge every few months when I take dc for appointment at Tommy's. We are due there just after Easter.

Really sorry for the families of those who passed away and the injured. It's a frightening world we're living in nowadays.

Nothing has been confirmed yet. Not sure it's right to speculate on deaths.

altered Yes, it would be there's a chance he's still alive if he wasn't in uniform.

Was it just a random attack then?. Terrorist attacks are usually planned and the police ate on to them quickly aren't they.

Piglet, it showed that was the officer earlier. That injured person is now deceased and covered by a blanket. Sadly not rocket science.

PortiaCastle fine but busy, thank you

Westminster tube station is closed according to the BBC.

Terrorist attacks are usually planned and the police ate on to them quickly aren't they.

They did react quickly.

The children visiting the Houses of Parliament are from a primary school local to me in Somerset. They must be so scared and their parents must be frantic!

Flappin Sorry, I must be being dense. I still don't understand.

If the children haven't been told details, we can hope they're more bored at being stuck than scared. It does sound like the grown-ups are playing it well.

Two injured people on the ground, one was a police officer and the other the suspect supposedly.

One man with normal clothing was put into the back of the ambulance alive, the other was covered with a blanket. I asked if it was a plain clothed officer as he would be in normal clothing.

Tobias Ellwood, my hero.

DD is on a school trip nearby, she texted to say they weren't allowed to leave the building and they'd just walked over the bridge 20 mins before. Hideous. So sad for the families of those affected.

Police officer confirmed dead

The thin blue line got thinner

Oh the poor officer my thoughts go to his/her family

Thanks Flappin.

So sad for the policeman and his family and so grateful for the UK's fantastic emergency services.

RIP for the officer killed doing their job and protecting others

Any more news on incident? Anything on the suspect/s?

Independent live updates says Theresa May was 40 yards away when police officer stabbed. That was a close shave.

That poor person and their poor family. RIP.

She's probably in a state of shock!

One of the most moving images .... Conservative MP Tobias Elwood covered in blood, giving CPR to the wounded police officer.

For anyone who doesn't know, Tobias Elwood lost his brother in the Bali terrorist attacks in 2001.

This was on another thread.

Greatest respect goes to Tobias Elwood MP also.
