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

We'll, I'm an Ex-Muslim who still gets abused by strangers based on my appearance rather than my actual beliefs.

Back on topic, both my wife and I work a minute away, and she's just managed to get home. Having worked in parliament and seeing how tight security is I'm surprised the attacker got close enough to kill and officer, but with the chaos caused by the car I guess it gave him the distraction needed...

How do other Muslims treat you after they find out you gave up the religon?

Did he blame it on Obama?

Noticed that Independent mentioned that "May was only '40 yards away' from the attack and has been confirmed safe." Glad to see news concerned about just one person...

Regardless of your personal feelings, the safety of the Prime Minister is paramount.

I do however like Sky's description of the photo. Because, you know, if you can't see the picture you can probably still read the text.

It's for screen readers, used by blind people.

A fear something even worse is about to happen

Re: photos and videos from bystanders.

The film crew at the Bradford stadium fire were given a lot of abuse for continuing to film as the disaster unfolded. The footage was, however, Invaluable when it came to understanding the incident.

See also the photo work of Kevin Carter and similar photographers

Awful as that is, the Daily Mirror was reporting 'The Chase cancelled due to ITV doing extended coverage of the terrorist incident'
This actually happened.


Am I correct in saying one policeman dead from a stabbing, one woman killed by a vehicle and the terrorist shot by plain clothes police?

-edit nope seems I am wrong

Been a load of adverts sudden recently encouraging people to report suspicious stuff, etc. - I don't think its coincidence.

4 dead 20 injured

1 police, 2 on the bridge with the car, i would suspect they are counting the attacker as the 4th

4 dead 20 injured

All from the car, bar the policeman, or others stabbed too?

Your post in the thread Shots fired outside parliament was deleted. Reason: let's please wait before speculating

Fair enough, but his name has been mentioned a few times on the news now.

One by the car, the officer stabbed and the third was the attacker. Not sure about the last but think it was on the bridge.

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Oh, he's dead. Good.

 

[SPG]

Well it was going to happen sooner later.

Regards to the families in question.

Life goes on and yet more restrictive policy's from governments incoming.....

Quite, we don't need another leadership battle.

Quite, we don't need another leadership battle.

And the mass panic it would no doubt cause too.

Yeah but Boris

RIP to those who have lost their lives, except for the obvious start of all this, who ever it is can rot.

Hoping the toll doesn't rise. I could sense something was going to kick off at some point.
