Re: Shots fired at Parliament
Sounds like the police acted very quickly. PM was evacuated within moments of the gunshots, assailant taking down quickly. Hope the officer, and those on the bridge, will be ok.

Re: Terrorist Attack Near Parliament, London
Seems he mounted the pavement and mowed down pedestrians before binning it into the Parliament railings upon which he stabbed a Police officer before being shot.
Expect a flurry of ID suggestions on the web shortly, the photo of the suspect has appeared without the face blur online. This will undoubtedly lead to multiple false ID's so take everything with a pinch of salt until they actually release the name. Early reports were skewed though suggestion of an officer being shot and the suspect being shot. Not sure why they go with unverified information then present that as fact. CNN's original headline was Dozens injured in Parliament shootout. |

You can bet there will be calls asking why he was shot dead if that is the case instead of being taken alive :mad:. As for the victims my thoughts are with them and there families

Re: Terrorist Attack Near Parliament, London
AFAIK Police are trained to aim at the body mass. They don't decide whether to kill or wound; they shoot in order to stop a lethal threat to themselves and/or the public. Putting three bullets into someone will stop them. At that point the job's done. Whether they then live or die is, frankly, a secondary issue.
