Laura Corin Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 It looks like a contained incident. Possibly just one assailant. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unsinkable Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 So a car ran over people, then someone in the car got out and started stabbing people? And then the stabber was shot by a police officer? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TravelingChris Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 One woman dead out of the dozen or so hurt by the car mowing them down on the bridge. Car then tried to drive through Security perimeter at Parliament. Got out of the vehicle and stabbed the officer. Police shot the victim. Reports are that two are dead and a number of the people injured are catastrophically injured (what Americans call critically injured.) Not clear if second person dead is a victim or the perpetrator.

Laura Corin Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 http://www.cnn.com/2017/03/23/europe/london-attack/index.html The CNN report gives Aysha Frade as 'originally from Spain'. In fact she was British and had always lived in London, but was of Spanish ancestry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butter Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 (edited) I've been struck by two things watching coverage of this. Things I think the US media could take a lesson from. 1.) They have released information about the attacker, but NOT the attacker, his pictures, all about him, handwringing from his family, and so on. In the US, there's a tendency to seriously hyper-focus on who did it. The reporting in England seems focused on the victims and the timeline of that happened. 2.) It was immediately treated as terrorism until it might be proven otherwise. In the US, we wait a really long time to call anything even possible terrorism.
