Just put the news on, breaking news, Parliament is in lockdown. Looks like a multiple incident - ongoing. Gunshots and quite a few run down on bridge too i think. MPs & Lords locked down in the house.

I heard the PM has been ushered out to safety in her jaguar. Many injured, possibly 4-12, in shooting and also run down by a car crashing into crowds. Intruder(s) may have entered the palace.

It looks like many French students may have been injured on the bridge by a renegade car, an intruder entered the palace grounds then stabbed a police officer, he has been shot and taken down. The area is in lock down as many more police arrive.

A lady (a dr at the nearby hospital) has died as a result of the attacks, many injures reported as catastrophic, a lady has been pulled alive out of the Thames, the area now seems contained and under control and MPs are being allowed to leave the chambers.

Sad. Very sad. And I'm trying to act surprised.

A 2nd person, a policeman, has also now died from this multiple incident. A minister had earlier performed ressussitation on him following the attack on him. There were some vague reports of bomb disposals on the scene, but nothing confirmed. It might be precautionary. The possibility of further attacks remains at the back of people's minds.

Condolences to all those affected by the loss of life and injuries incurred. We are always indebted to our emergency, security and medical professionals.

It is now confirmed that 4 have died and 20 are injured.
Only one attacker has been identified. He has also died.

Seriously? They trust the safety of the PM to a Jaguar??? To quote Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman, "Huge mistake. Huge."

I've been watching Sky News all morning (it's still my morning despite the time). One of the three injured officers is one of the four :(

Use a Land Rover, at least you have a better than 50% chance it will start and won't break down a block away from Parliament.

Also, now I want a bulletproof Land Rover.
