Yet another example of what a cruel world we live in at times.

 

So far, 7 people have been arrested following raids on 6 addresses in connection with yesterdays attacks which left 5 people dead (including 1 unarmed police office who was fatally stabbed) and 12 people seriously injured. 8 people also confirmed as 'less serious' or what we call 'walking wounded'.

 

The incident started with a solo attacker driving over Westminster Bridge and knocking down pedestrians in an attack which is said to be inspired by 'Islamic-related and or International terrorism'.

 

Amongst the victims were a group of French School children, of which 3 were injured and 5 South Korean tourists, 1 of which was seriously injured.

 

Further information can be found all over International News headlines, but personally I follow www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-39355108

 

My thoughts are with everyone involved at this time and with my colleagues in the London Ambulance Service for their hard work. Ambulance staff work hard 24/7 365, their commitment to the health and wellbeing of our public never ceases to amaze me and makes me so proud of the job I do.

 

Edit: I've just seen there's a thread about this in the Political Forum.. I never venture in there. Apologies.
