Up to six injured people were found at the scene; one woman was pronounced dead a short time later. The man was arrested at 22:39; a taser was discharged by one of the arresting officers. Terrorism is one possible motive being explored, the Metropolitan Police say.[/QUOTE] [editline]4th August 2016[/editline] MET police have tweeted that the suspect has already been detained and arrested [url]https://twitter.com/metpoliceuk/status/760999755069722625[/url]
I'm working as a contractor at the British Museum. That exact spot is where I park my motorcycle usually... except yesterday was needed at the main company office so wasn't there...
What can I say other than my thoughts are with the family of the deceased and I hope that the injured will be fine? Horrible incident.
I'm curious what kind of knife was used in the incident.
From the OP article: [QUOTE] Kevin Hurley, former lead on counter terrorism at City of London Police, told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "First and foremost, the tragic event that occurred could have happened at any day of the week in any street in our cities, because there are lots of mentally disordered people who should be in hospital and who are out and about. This is not unusual. We should not jump to conclusions and say that this is terrorist-related. "However, it is another reminder of the fact that we need to do more, potentially, to stop people from being groomed on the internet and hate creatures spreading some unpleasantness. "But let's remember, you're much more likely to die or be badly injured in your home, than you will either by a mentally disordered person, or indeed a terrorist." [/QUOTE] Kind of a pointless reaction to a stabbing in London, seems to be trying to cover all of the obvious bases. The last comment is reassuring though, maybe I need to get out more.
on second thought :snip:
