Shooting at London Bridge

[Horatio]

Sad. Good on the members of the public that tackled him. Very brave.

Yes, incredibly brave. Especially as he was wearing an explosive belt. It was fake but they didn’t know that.

Two members of the public were killed

If not, they may be wary after the previous incident there.

Scotland Yard is not that far from there along the river so they could be based there

If you are thinking of going there, stay away. The whole station has been evacuated and armed police are there.

Is there a police armed unit at London bridge? There's hardly any that are armed but both times something happens there they show up in minutes

If not, they may be wary after the previous incident there.

Now reports of a stabbing attack at a department store at The Hague in the Netherlands.

 

[Mustard]

I don’t know, just listening to the reports. I believe the knife person stabbed more than one person. I believe Borough Market was having a late shopping night today, so it’s conceivable that a lot of people are headed there.

It was stabbing, I think.

It says it was a fight. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-50604781

The report also said that shots were fired.

The station remains closed. Avoid.

Yeah I feel like I heard on the news that it wasn’t the armed anti terror unit who shot the guy, but police from the city of London (as in the borough, as in the financial district to the north side of the bridge). It’s conceivable that some police based in the City may carry guns, even if it’s not the norm for most boroughs. (Since It’s an obvious target for terror being a focal point of Western wealth and containing iconic landmarks like St. Paul’s. )

The police have shot someone with a knife. I think a member of the public apprehended the person with the knife.
