7 Killed, 48 Injured In London Terror Attack | 3 Suspects Shot Dead By Police

No less than seven people have been killed and 48 injured in a terror attack in central London, with police shooting three suspected assailants dead.

A white van hit pedestrians on London Bridge at about 22:00 BST on Saturday before three men got out and stabbed people in nearby Borough Market.

However, armed officers shot the suspects within eight minutes of the first call.

The injured were taken to five hospitals. More than 80 medics were sent to the scene.

One of the injured is an officer from British Transport Police who was stabbed after responding to the incident. His condition is serious, but not life-threatening.

A bomb disposal team was called to Borough Market and local residents told to leave their homes.

Commissioner Mark Rowley said:

“The suspects were wearing what looked like explosive vests but these were later established to be hoaxes.”

He said it was currently believed there were only three attackers involved.

“We are treating this as a terrorist incident and a full investigation is already under way,” he added.

The incident is the third terror attack in the UK in three months following the car and knife attack in Westminster in March, which left five people dead, and the Manchester bombing less than two weeks ago, in which 22 people were killed.
