The car then crashed Near Parliament and at least one man, armed with a knife, continued the attack into parliament. Sadly, i can confirm that now four people have died. That includes the Police Officer who was watching parliament and one man we believe to be the attacker, who was shot by a Police Officer. The officers family have been made aware. At least 20 people have been injured. As part of long established and well rehearsed plans, parliament has been locked down. That response included uniformed foreign officers. We now of course have an on going operation on what we currently believe there was only one attacker. Im sure the public will understand that were taking every precaution in locking down and searching the area as thoroughly and exhaustively as possible. And i know that the officials
working within parliament are in the area completely understand the need to do this and i thank them for their patience and their support. This investigation has the full weight and expertis
officers there, opened fire, shot the suspect. the suspect was down and being treated, was eventually taken to a hospital nearby, and in the hospital that assailant died. the police officer who was attacked has also died. and two others who were there on scene have died. so the death toll is the assailant plus three others. kevin schoefield is on the line. he said he saw the stabbing from the parliament press gallery. what did you see? i was working in the press gallery this afternoon, as you s see, when we saw the street from westminster bridge. we thought there had been a car crash or something. we looked out the window. there were people running, people shouting. then to my left i saw a man break through, push his way through some security gates on the perimeter of the parliamentary estate.
