London has had another possible terror attack

from Daily Mail

snip

Officers are currently on the scene outside a supermarket on High Road in Streatham, south London. It is thought that a number of people have been stabbed in what is currently being treated by police as a terrorist-related incident. The suspect has since been shot by armed officers. Dozens of emergency vehicles are currently lining the street as well as reports of an air ambulance and police helicopter circling the area.

I didn't link because of disturbing photos

I always read my British soap stuff on Daily Mail , and I saw the item and came back as fast as I could ,to share. I know some have friends and family in the UK ,and I felt they might want to know asap, if they already didn't

'I'll tell you one thing'.............The Daily Mail sure has some fantastic, high-quality photos (in general).

And they seem to report very quickly.

When I want to find out about something new that's happening (even here in the US), I check Daily Mail UK.

@ROMARY Exactly the way I feel. First thing I check every morning. Tell it like it is and before anyone else.

@proudlyfromNJ you have to wade through a lot of fake or twisted news on that site to get to the truth. I take most everything they say with a huge grain of salt.
The comments on some of the articles are disheartening.

Thanks for reporting back, @cherry . I had seen a fleeting mention of it somewhere prior but will hit the Daily Mail for more details. Poor London seems to suffer these attacks with appalling regularity.

I haven't read anything else. It was reported he was carrying a couple of silver canisters. I wondered what they were @Oznell

This is a sad world with all these off balanced people taking lives of innocent people. I wish it would stop.

I just heard that the attacker was also carrying a machete, 3 people were injured, one with life threatening injuries.

So far, no one dead, except for the attacker.

From what I read ,it seems the perpetrator has been under police surveillance for a while..he was known to the police

One person is in life threatening condition

It seems he was using a fake suicide vest. Thank goodness for that

This is such distressing news! My heart bleeds for the unfortunate victims, that are guilty of nothing more than being in the wrong place, at the wrong time. Incidents such as this remind us of the fragility of life. My most heartfelt thoughts and prayers go out to anyone affected by yet another senseless act of brutality, including the victims, witnesses, family and first responders.❣❣❣ I don't understand the mindset of anyone capable of such terrorizing malice, but their heart is in definite need of prayer also.

~~All we need is LOVE💖

I'm glad the damage was limited because the the assailant was limited to such an inefficient weapon. Somehow that criminal did not manage to get a gun. Hmmmm, how could that be?

At least he did not have guns,like we have to deal with here.

occasionalrain — Sun, 02 Feb 2020 21:07:08 GMT

Well he could have had a bomb.

I believe knives are prohibited to be carried on the streets of London. Acid attacks are happening there as well. Then there are vehicles running people down.
