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

Drove up the bridge into people, or drove into people to get to the gate?

The gate is a fair distance from the bridge, but the route would go - bridge, gate, inner grounds

People here read Trumps tweets?

dont care what he says about this

He has a few fans on the forum who supported him during the presidential election.

Had to turn the news off. The churning of sheer speculation resulting in non news is frustrating.

This thread isn't much different though

Maddening isn't it? Feels massively disrespectful as well. Some poor people are fighting for there lives whilst all this wild speculation flies around just so we have something to talk about in the office or on a thread.

Seems so atm. Sounds like he drove up the bridge, crashed by the gate, ran in with a knife and got shot.

I don't mean to belittle the event, it's horrific. But this doesn't appear to be a 7/7 level event - media is in complete panic mode.

Good thing he didn't have a gun. Local gangster kids seem to get them easily enough.

Such a terrible thing to happen

To make sure he has nothing concealed most likely.

It's also odd that it appears news outlets are saying that he tried to then drive through the gate. That gate has a huge concrete base and iron bars.

I don't think his intellect had much of a role to play in his actions.

There's a chance this was just some lone nut with a car and a knife I guess.

There is a chance that the authorities will play this down by saying whoever it is had mental issues. We shall see.

Is the attacker alive or dead?

Twitter: just wow - people already blaming refugees and Islam and spreading hate.

 

[Minibiker]

Can't believe this makes me angry!!!

Seems its case closed then on any further speculation.

RIP to those that lost and I pray for those currently fighting for their lives.

He's been shot, and on a stretcher.

They've had to take part of his clothes off to treat his wounds. They won't just shoot him and let him bleed out; they'll attempt to keep him alive as much as possible and that involves seeing what's happening.

Much more than " A few ", if anything I'd say if this forum allowed free speech in any way, it would be a mad place
