Shots outside of parliament

[Pip in a Poke]

Hmmm... yeah very unusual for out police to discharge their weapons. Must have been pretty serious circumstances to warrant such action.

he had run down members of the public in a car, smashed into a gate, repeatedly stabbed a policeman and refused to drop it when challenged in a building with lots of high value targets.

I think most people would think that was serious.

What surprises me is why he didn't have a bomb, after this Westminster will be locked down.

looks like a lone nutter

The OP?

Thanks Mods

good job!

A ban would have just polished it off.

[VectraMan]

Sounds like another loan nutter, like the drunk and stoned one that tried to attack a policeman in Paris last week.

It is already locked down which is why he was shot without hesitation.

I think we will see a ring of steel around there in the next few days. You won't be able to come within 100 yards.

If the 4x4 had been filled with a bomb then it would have been carnage.

Guardian suggesting one of the bodies has been covered over and it is the policeman who was stabbed.

Also two people arrested on Westminster bridge.

One person has been confirmed as dead by doctor at St Thomas's

[WTFH]

Bomb squad have been called in...
