LOS ANGELES ,CA (Catholic Online) - A terrorist attack has occurred outside the Parliament building in London.
Members of the House of Commons were put on lockdown following reports of a shooting outside Porticullis House, which is home to several lawmaker's offices. Images received in our studio show several wounded people lying on Westminster Bridge.
Tweny people have been injured, four are dead, including the attacker.
The majority of the casualties are on Westminster Bridge.
There are fatalities. A woman has died after being struck by the terrorist's vehicle. The second victim is an officer who was stabbed. A third victim ended up in the Thames river, and is thought to be alive.
While we do not know the identity of the attacker, or motive, the act is certainly an act of terrorism.
Scotland Yard reported the terrorist has died. Earlier images showed the terror suspect, a male with a beard, being loaded into an ambulance.
Scotland Yard reported that additional officers will be deployed for a time in the aftermath of the attacks. People are asked to contact the police if they see or suspect any suspicious activity.
The suspected terrorist has survived the attack and was loaded into an ambulance under heavy guard. His name as not been released.
The lockdown appears to have been lifted. Large numbers of children, touring the area have been seen departing under escort.
This story will be updated as more information comes available.
