Westminster: London Terror Attack by omoharry(f): 9:54am On Mar 23, 2017
Four people were killed and dozens injured when a suspected terrorist drove through pedestrians in Westminster before launching a knife attack.

PC Keith Palmer, 48, was stabbed to death before his attacker was fatally gunned down.

The knifeman ploughed into pedestrians on the pavement of Westminster Bridge, killing three members of the public, before running through the Parliament railings and attacking the unarmed cop.

Prime Minister Theresa May, who was whisked to safety in the wake of the attack, has condemned the “sick and depraved” terrorist and vowed Britain will “never give into terror”.

Five people are now confirmed to have died in the attack on Westminster on Wednesday: one police officer, three members of the public, and the attacker.
The police officer has been named as PC Keith Palmer, 48, a member of the parliamentary and diplomatic protection command, with 15 years’ service in the force. He was unarmed.
Metropolitan police acting deputy commissioner Mark Rowleysaid Palmer was a husband and father:
He was someone who left for work today expecting to return home at the end of his shift and he had every right to expect that would happen.

The other victims of the attack, and the assailant, have not yet been named.
Police said 40 other people were injured; many remain in hospital, some in a serious condition.
Five South Korean tourists, four students from Ormskirk’s Edge Hill University, and a German woman resident in Australia have been identified as among the wounded.
Investigators say they believe they know the identity of the attacker, and that he is thought to have acted alone but was “inspired by international terrorism”.
The House of Commons will sit this morning, with prime ministerTheresa May saying the country would not be cowed:
Parliament will meet as normal. We will come together as normal.

And Londoners – and others from around the world who have come here to visit this great city – will get up and go about their day as normal.

They will board their trains, they will leave their hotels, they will walk these streets, they will live their lives. And we will all move forward together. Never giving in to terror. And never allowing the voices of hate and evil to drive us apart.
