    Sounds bad. Hopefully not as bad as it sounds. Thoughts with anyone involved.

    The problem with speculation is it is fear mongering (even if unintended).

    Sky news have had one witness saying he saw victims stabbed. One (ex?) Military witness is 100% sure he heard rapid tremendous extended gunfire 10 minutes before the main incident.
    They reported 20+ victims run over.
    Then they said 10.
    Then 20.

    And the BBC say this...
    BBC reporter Holly Jones, who was on the bridge at the time of the incident, said the van was driven by a man and was "probably travelling at about 50 miles an hour".

    About five people were being treated for injuries after the vehicle mounted the pavement and hit them, she said.

    She said the van, which was travelling from the direction of central London, headed towards the south side of the river.

    Ms Jones later reported seeing a man being arrested by police. She said he was handcuffed and had his shirt off.

    No mention of stabbings or gunfire

    Yes sky news saying knife attack and gunfire. Bbc say they won't report on speculation and only reporting a white van ploughs into pedestrians.

    I know I just said that speculation is bad but here's what my initial suspicions are.

    Van with several people in the back has deliberately crashed into people. It came to a stop and several people jumped out and ran towards the market stabbing people. Police have fired at suspects but some have got away which is why police are now arriving in LARGE numbers and grabbing shields to protect themselves.

    Just a guess

    We all criticise police at times but how brave do you have to be to get a call saying that armed people are on the streets killing people and instead of running away you grab a plastic shield and run towards it instead trying to find people who you think are armed just to protect people you have never met.

    Police have just apprehended somebody and the tossers in London are refusing to move when police are screaming at them to move for their own safety.
