    UK Parliament terror attack: Two people killed, cop stabbed -- more than a dozen injured

    UK Parliament terror attack: Two people killed, cop stabbed -- more than a dozen injured

    DEVELOPING – Two people have died after a terror incident that saw a police officer stabbed, and as many as a dozen people run over outside London's Parliament building on Wednesday.

    Police said a vehicle mowed down pedestrians on London's Westminster Bridge, leaving more than a dozen with injuries described as catastrophic.

    Around the same time Wednesday, a knife-wielding attacker stabbed a police officer and was shot on the grounds outside Britain's Parliament, sending the compound into lockdown

    The assailant -- who looked to be in his 30s or 40s -- was carrying a seven to eight-inch knife, witnesses told Sky News.

    It is unclear if the person shot by police and the driver are the same person.

    BBC News reported two assailants were believed to have in the vehicle.

    A senior government sources told the Daily Telegraph that police are still looking for a suspect in the House of Parliament.

    London police confirmed there are a "number of casualties, including police officers."

    Sources told Sky News that up to three officers were injured.

    Scotland Yard Commander BJ Harrington told reporters there are multiple injuries, including police officers, but said authorities "cannot confirm numbers or the nature of these injuries."

    I never heard the follow up...here it is:

    "After the car crashed into the perimeter fence of the Palace grounds, Masood abandoned it and ran into New Palace Yard where he fatally stabbed an unarmed police officer. He was then shot by an armed police officer and died at the scene. The attack lasted 82 seconds. Police stated Masood had an interest in jihad and believe he was inspired by Islamist terrorism, but they have found no link with a terrorist organisation and have not yet determined his motive..."
