Something has happened on Westminster bridge as well. That might actually be worse from initial reports.

Re: Shots fired at Parliament

This is from the Press Association.

https://www.theguardian.com/politics...-politics-live

Quote:
There was a major security alert at the Palace of Westminster after a man apparently carrying a knife charged through the gates into the front yard of the parliamentary compound.

Amid shouts and screams, sounds similar to gunfire rang out.

Two people were seen to be lying within Old Palace Yard, immediately outside Westminster Hall.

The sitting in the House of Commons was suspended while police officers sealed off the area around the incident.

Immediately before the incident, at around 2.45pm, a crowd of passers-by was seen running from the direction of Westminster Bridge and around the corner into Parliament Square

5 people have been run down apparently, no idea as to how serious their injuries or there are any fatalities.

This has to be a Terrorist Attack.

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.

One woman dead and others hurt, some with 'catastrophic' injuries, doctor says.

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.

Re: Terrorist Attack Near Parliament, London

You can bet there will be calls asking why he was shot dead if that is the case instead of being taken alive . 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.

I suppose it depends on the gun there using, If its a HK then its 9mm which does not kill as easily as 5.56. 9mm is a handgun round where as 5.56 is used in assault rifles.
