Shots fired outside parliament - Please refrain from speculative and antagonistic posts

Reports on Twitter of shots fired. Apparently, one attacker and a policeman down at entrance to the commons!

Freakbro · 22 Mar 2017 at 14:51

Various reports at the minute, the usual confusion of live news.

Reports of man with a knife still on the grounds, another saying 6 people injured on Westminster Bridge. ...it'll become clear over the next few hours

Yep its all going off

Police officer has told me someone has been shot outside portcullis house - not clear what's happening

Doesn't look so good, the air ambulance was landing nearby, the normal confusing reports... no doubt people making it up before they have the facts, I hope there aren't any fatalities though

At least 5 people mowed down on bridge.

XeNoN89 · 22 Mar 2017 at 14:55

Was only a matter of time before they attacked here again...

I didn't realise people would get so angry about the banning of laptops on planes.

Sky news reporting that a bunch of people were run over by a car on Westminster bridge, no idea if it's legit or not... but it sounds bad,.. very bad,

Reports of 6 people being mowed down by a car on Westminster bridge, the car then crashing though entrance gates and someone attacking a policeman outside Parliament.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/201...outside-parliament-officer-reportedly-shoots/

Commons Leader David Lidington has told MPs a "police officer has been stabbed" and the "alleged assailant was shot by armed police" following a "serious" incident within the parliamentary estate.

From looking on twitter I have come to the following:

Car mows down a few people, 1 assailant gets out and attack people with knife, gets shot by police.

I hope any victims are okay and make a full recovery. Such a horrible thing.

FTM · 22 Mar 2017 at 15:04

seems the wrong place to plan an attack mind..its likely the highest concetration of armed officers

I am going to say gang related! or just some crazy nutter

Freakbro · 22 Mar 2017 at 15:04

Sounds like the shots were from the police, the attacker had a knife

doodah · 22 Mar 2017 at 15:07

Hope the victims will survive.

I sense a senseless/misguided Donald Trump tweet coming shortly.

High profile, perfect for someone who doesn't mind dying in the attack
