    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.

    Car rammed into people on Westminster bridge plus two people shot near parliament. Looks likely terror attack.

    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.

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

    journalist Quentin Letts described seeing a "parliamentary security men shoot a man who had attacked a policeman".

    There are also reports of a dozen people injured on Westminster Bridge and the Metropolitan Police say they are aware of an incident.

    looks like a terror attack lads :(

    Well the papers won't be able to blame this on Martin.

    Hope everyone is okay.

    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?
