I got a push notification to my phone saying two people were shot outside Westminster. When I clicked it the story led to Sky's app and it didn't mention anyone being shot. Let's hope it was a mistake.

Scotland Yard reporting that they have been called to a firearms incident.

reports on twitter of a dozen people injured on Westminster bridge by ramming and a shooting outside parliament.

Atlantic Dawn

RTÉ reporting someone charged at through gates with a knife, proper order if he was shot given the current climate...

A man apparently carrying a knife charged through the gates into the front yard of the parliamentary compound.

I wonder to myself, could life ever be sane again?

Seems like a car/knife attack and looks calm enough now so hopefully it's just the ****ers who did it who were shot.

I'd wait for more information before spreading stuff like that about. Not sure it's true at all.

Edit - Looking like it might be now. Jesus.

No reports of an explosion? Reports of a loud crash being heard, most likely the vehicle in the pic hitting the railings but I have seen no reports of an explosion. Source?

Sky news just showed footage of a few people on Westminster bridge not moving.

Would always be skeptical of randomer on any social media, be that twitter, facebook, boards or reddit, claiming that X number are shot/injured/mowed down, or that explosions have been heard.

Until you have images of it or a reputable source saying it, you can assume it's not true.

Some people love to make up stuff to troll and cause confusion, and others love to relentlessly repeat incorrect information because they think they're being helpful and informative.

Right now what you have is clearly a vehicle has crashed into the railings and reputable sources reporting that two people have been shot inside the grounds. Though there are no reports of any attackers armed with guns, just one man with a knife.

Judging by the image above with one person lying on the ground and reports of two people shot, we know there at least 3 serious casualties. Not 5 or 12.

You might end up being proven right, but for now that's just pure speculation.

Clearly covering a body there on Westminister Bridge. Not good.

I'm gonna say not islam but a deranged nutter. Smashed the car into railings hitting people on the way. Got out and stabbed a police man and then got shot a few times.
