5 casualties, suspect in custody though a video has gone viral online that looks like him being shot dead, maybe tasered? Reports of explosives, nearby Borough Market has been evacuated.
Hope there's no follow ups and any injuries can be recovered from. Hope everyone here in London is OK.
One confirmed fatality, not confirmed yet if that's a suspect or victim.
Now confirming the attacker was shot and killed and this is officially being treated as a terrorist incident. "A number of people injured", the attacker had a knife (looks like a machete) and it looks from video like bystanders tackled and disarmed the suspect before the Police arrived. Incredibly brave people!
Police shot dead the suspect due to a hoax suicide vest.
Very sad that two innocent people lost their lives. Good on the bystanders for quickly springing into action - those are some real damn heroes! Also very glad the terrorist POS is dead.
Did you notice most of the bystanders were convicted felons (including a murderer), some still on parole?
Nope - and to be frank it doesn't matter. I don't need to know someone's history to determine if an act is heroic or not.Quote:

It is a game of percentages. Lottery is a bad idea for people to play but some random yahoo is still going to say "nah no it isn't I won after all!"Quote:
