Five Dead, Dozens Hurt in Shocking Westminster Terror Attack
Police have confirmed a fifth death in the horrifying Westminster terror attack that left 40 injured. Among the dead are a heroic police officer who died from stab wounds, his attacker, and two victims hit by a car on Westminster Bridge.
Chaos on Westminster Bridge
The incident began when a vehicle mounted the pavement on Westminster Bridge, ploughing into around a dozen people. The car then crashed into the railings before ramming the gates of Parliament itself. Bomb disposal experts are now investigating a suspicious package found inside the vehicle.
Knife Attack Outside Parliament
Shortly after the car attack, a police officer was fatally stabbed outside the Houses of Parliament. Armed officers shot the alleged assailant. Inside Parliament, staff heard at least three gunshots and were forced into lockdown, unable to leave as the terror unfolded.
Victims Face Devastating Injuries
At least 20 injured victims have been rushed to nearby hospitals. A junior doctor at St Thomas’ Hospital described some injuries as “catastrophic,” highlighting the severity of the chaos.
Authorities are treating this as a terrorist incident until further notice. Details remain sketchy, but the nation is on high alert after this brutal attack in the heart of London.
