From the Telegraph:

A major security alert is under way at the Palace of Westminster after a man apparently carrying a knife charged through the gates into the front yard of the parliamentary compound.
Amid shouts and screams, sounds similar to gunfire rang out.


A man has reportedly been shot by police outside the Houses of Parliament.

People who do that sort of thing should be encouraged to bring a knife to a gun fight.

Update
Police announce they are treating this as a terrorist attack until they know more.
Parliament suspended, clearly a lock down is in place and bomb squads and such will be clearing areas and areas will be cleared 1 by one.

Suspect car, area being cleared of people, just in case it has explosives.

This moment in the film was unscripted. They left it in.
 
Re: Parliament shooting: Armed man 'shot dead by police' after 'driving into pedestri

Now the outcry will begin:

Ban knives and cars!!

Or......will it?

I haven't seen it reported yet but has this been tied to Trump yet? Is it fair to speculate that this was a reaction to the new travel ban or, perhaps, a "black" operation designed to get news away from the new Trump money laundering and Russia ties?

Who needs a gun when you can do far more damage with a truck.

Looks like the Met have done a great job so far. Thoughts with the families of those hurt in this.

People who know how to use a knife will be able to get handguns from cops if they wish to

if someone is willing to kill people with a vehicle and stab a police officer, they can easily obtain a firearm even in a place like London.

Just mowing down innocent people walking on a sidewalk. Not knowing who they are or what their lives have been like. Deciding who dies today and who will undergo months of painful medical rehab.

What a piece of human garbage. I hope after they shot him dead they pissed all over his face. F him.
 
Re: Parliament shooting: Armed man 'shot dead by police' after 'driving into pedestri

Of course.

In Texas he'd have been shot dead in ten seconds.

That's the English for ya.

Here we go again. What is with this recent trend of terrorists' literally driving into crowds of people?
 
Re: Parliament shooting: Armed man 'shot dead by police' after 'driving into pedestri

Is he confirmed dead?
