Oh dear

Just seen the video of the police shooting the suspect, that's got to be shocking in itself (given guns in this country are considered a last resort use) but then to see the police back off rather than do their usual procedure has got to be pretty damn scary to those still on the bridge.

Not again.

 

It is being treated as a terror attack.

Mutliple injuries reported and one fatality reported.

Suspect shot and detained by police.

 

I saw this come up on my phone as we were preparing to initiate a lock-down drill.

The video circulating is NsFW as swearing and gun shots are seen.

 

Please don’t view it with your children either

Two members of the public have died after a stabbing attack at London Bridge, in which police also shot dead the suspect.

 

The Met Police has declared the attack a terrorist incident.

 

The suspect, who died at the scene, was believed to have been wearing a hoax explosive device, police said.

 

Videos on social media appear to show passers-by holding down a man. An officer arrives, seems to indicate to the group to move, and fires a shot.

 

A Whitehall source confirmed two members of the public died to the BBC but gave no further information.

 

Details are still emerging and Neil Basu, the head of UK counter-terrorism policing, said the force was keeping an open mind over the motive.
