Witnesses said a vehicle struck several people on the bridge, and photos showed a car plowed into railings.

At least four people were lying on the ground on Westminster Bridge near Parliament, some bleeding heavily and apparently unconscious.

The perpetrator managed to run down a group of French school children before being shot.

That's ironic, given the up-coming French elections.

99.9999999% of the worlds population would agree, but there are a few that support this sort of hatred and carnage :(

I think that many 9's = "one in a billion", which severely underestimates the magnitude of the problem. Given issues in a number of countries I would guess nearer to 99.999% (1 in 100,000 or about 70,000 out of 7billion). I fear even that may be an underestimate. :(

Re: London shooting

Pleased that attacker was shot dead, it was annoying seeing him on an NHS stretcher potentially consuming scarce resources. Surprised that the policeman victim was unarmed, given the high profile location of parliament.

Re: London shooting

The attacker was British born and on Mi5 radar, the latest news says they have arrested several people linked to this chap.
