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

[Mr Jack]

Bomb squad called to a suspect package in the vehicle.

 

[Grimley]

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

As others have said & from the gist of the news, I think that too. There must be Hi-def CCTV round there & the investigation must include footage taken from those cameras. I walked over that bridge just before Xmas 2015, it is very busy & that car could've run over a lot more people, my opinion to prevent a car running people over on the pavements of Westminster bridge is to install railings or bollards of some kind with the rest of the bridges that cross central London too. A pity that someone has been killed & that St. Thomas hospital is close be to treat the injured. I hope that the perpetrator(s) if still alive, get their comeuppance.

It is very surprising they didn't do that after the France truck attack really.

Victims have been fingered as suspects by over-enthusiastic media before. I will wait for confirmation from proper channels.

So guy drives down the bridge, mounted the pavement to run down people. At the end of the bridge he crashes into the gate, gets out and into the grounds and stabs a police officer before being shot.

Yep. Looks like they hit a person on their way into the fence too - https://twitter.com/claudiascore/status/844561131876204544

Sounds like he was too bad to be moved.

 

[Mr Jack]

I noticed that in the courtyard too. Yet the 'attacker' was being taken away on a stretcher so it couldnt have been him.

Weren't there two attackers?

Not sure it's been posted on yet but this attack was alluded to on 4chan. There was a post yesterday which contained morse code. The morse code had a URL in it, the URL (pastebin) had binary numbers on. The binary numbers translated to ASCII showed a GPS coordinate. The GPS coordinate was Big Ben.

This was posted YESTERDAY.

3 shots at the end of that video :s

stripped to carry out cpr etc probably and check he had nothing else on him

Correct - even though he is responsible for this, the Emergency services still have a duty of care to preserve life. One of the main reasons they strip is to ensure they have found all the entry and possibly exit wounds. When WPC Yvonne Fletcher was shot many years ago outside the Iranian Embassy, they thought she had one entry point. Turns out the small calibre bullets had bounced off various bones and been deflected through her body causing multiple entry and exit wounds from some of the same rounds. As a result she bled out because they were trying to treat what they thought was the main wound.

Very sad situation, condolences to anyone affected.

 

[Josh]

Wasn't the officer airlifted to Hospital?

 

[Bassmansam]

Why are they giving medical treatment to the attacker????

Please don't post this tripe.

Because it's their job?

London Ambulance Service Deputy Director of Operations Pauline Cranmer said:

"We can confirm we have treated at least 10 patients on Westminster Bridge and have put a number of hospitals on alert as we continue to respond to this incident.

 

[Grimley]

Does anyone know the origin/place of birth of the attacker?

It wont take the tabloids long to find out who did this & their background.

 

[LiE]

Why are they giving medical treatment to the attacker????

I'm pretty sure they have to.

 

[nemtizz]

Goddamn pigeons trying their best to destroy the crime scenes.

You'll bet within the year all the London bridges will have fence/barriers from now on. I think Tower Bridge already has them? I guess that's down to the fact it's a draw bridge
