Update: 2017-03-23
Description
A knife-wielding man went on a deadly rampage at the heart of Britain’s seat of power Wednesday, mowing down pedestrians with a car on London’s Westminster Bridge before stabbing an armed police officer to death inside the gates of Parliament. Five people were killed, including the attacker, and about 40 others were injured. Lawmakers, lords, staff and visitors were prevented from leaving as the area was put on lockdown. The man was shot by police within the perimeter of Parliament and just yards from entrances to the building itself. He died, as did two pedestrians on the bridge and a police officer. A doctor who treated the wounded said some had “catastrophic” injuries. Police said they were treating the attacks as a terrorist incident and had launched a full counterterrorism investigation. Prime Minister Theresa May condemned the attack as “sick and depraved.”
