Quote Witnesses have described seeing a middle-aged man carrying a knife and running towards the Palace of Westminster... Jayne Wilkinson said: "We were taking photos of Big Ben and we saw all the people running towards us, and then there was an Asian guy in about his 40s carrying a knife about seven or eight inches long. "And then there were three shots fired, and then we crossed the road and looked over. The man was on the floor with blood. "He had a lightweight jacket on, dark trousers and a shirt. "He was running through those gates, towards Parliament, and the police were chasing him." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stan 16,009 Posted March 22, 2017 Author Share Posted March 22, 2017 Just now, Cicero said: ISIS? no confirmation and not much speculation about it to be honest. Not much being said about the attacker on BBC news, anyway. How it should be. Don't give them any air-time. Just hope the victims are okay and that there's no further deaths.

Some people are saying there was a body in the river and some aren't and some are saying they heard gunshots on others are saying they didn't. Regardless of what people are saying, seeing something like this happen in real life must be galling in the extreme.
