Sigh. Here we go again. From BBC
The BBC’s Nick Quraishi at the scene says he is now able to corroborate earlier reports of gunshots being fired.
Reports suggest it may have been more than one incident:
– A van hitting people at London Bridge and three people then jumping out of the vehicle and attacking members of the public;
– A separate incident at Borough Market
– Police have now said they are responding to a third incident in Vauxhall
It is understood that police are looking for three suspects who may be armed.
More than one fatality confirmed.

Looks like two have been apprehended.
JUST STOP.
OMG I was stuck in traffic this evening about half a mile from the incident thinking there was an accident ahead then all of a sudden we saw about 20/30 people running for their lives ahead of us. We got out our car and police officers told us to run. Now I’m in a random office building waiting for clearance to leave. This is crazy.
Stay safe!!
Damn, Chelle! Normally I want spies everywhere but not here. Please keep us updated on your situation.
I’m safe. We were escorted by the police back to the car about 2 hours after I posted, and I was able to get home. I’m now miles away. Thank God. So crazy. Thanks for all the well wishes guys. So sad that so many people lost their lives and are injured.
Glad to know you got home safely and so sorry you got caught up in that.
So glad to hear you are home safe Chelle! We have a few friends in London and learned through a special posting Facebook offers now that they are okay. Keep us posted!
Will you be able to get home? There are people on Twitter offering beds to those who are displaced near where you are.
OMG! Please be safe!!!!
Oh no Chelle!! Please, please be careful. We are all worried about you.
Chelle hope you are ok!
If they don’t like us they can go back to whatever sand-infested place they come from and make it the way they want it. Take it over, run it, and roll up the welcome mat and tell the West to stay out. I think we will, as long as you allow those who want to get out of your craziness to leave. Damn.
“Sand-infested’ Wow.
If all terrorists were Arabic, that would simplify things. But they’re not, so it’s not that simple. It’s comforting to blame someone. But just as I don’t want to be held personally accountable for the Crusades, I don’t hold every Muslim of Arabian descent responsible for the depraved acts of terrorism occurring now.
Well said Angela.
Catazure… I wish I could tell you about Libya and all the beauty that is there underneath all of this bullshit. There is some of the most breathtaking architecture you will ever see. The people there were lovely (expect one the one day a year we called Anti American Day but it was really just sort of their North Korean roll out of weaponry and Political drama. We just stayed home that day. This country has oil. LOTS OF OIL. If they could get their shit together they could be the biggest tourist site in the world. It’s tragedy what is happening there. They could be so wealthy. They just need more people that know what they are doing. The number one thing on my bucket list is to go back there.
Oh brave new world! </3
I know someone over in London right now, with no way of contacting that person.. I am scared to death, even though I know the chances are slim.
When there is a victim list – will someone let me know?
Jesus Fucking Christ…. I’m a basket case…. and all I can think of is “London Bridge, isn’t it Tower Bridge? London Bridge is in Arizona now isn’t it?”
Chelle please update us when you can. I know we are strangers but I’m worried for you nonetheless. Here at tamaratattles, I guess we are a big dysfunctional family. God be with you all.
Keeps happening just before an election. I see Russia everywhere now. ISIS delivered, Funded by people who want to swing a country right. Dead teenagers in Manchester and now in the heart of London. Kind of happy I’m not leaving the airport until I get on another plane.
happy place. HAPPY PLACE!
Greek Zorba, and music
terror attacks go up during the Muslim holy month, we are in that month. Has nothing to do with an election, it is all the Jihadi insanity.
OMG, Russians are cuming
I can’t wrap my brain around “killing in the name of religion.” It disgusts me.
This morning, I finally heard from an old school friend who lives there. She is about a 20 minute train ride from London. They spend a lot of time in London on the weekends, but thankfully they had stayed home yesterday.
They have recently returned to England after living in Turkey for the past several years. It was becoming too crazy for an American and her Brit husband to continue living there…and sadly, Britain may not be too far behind.
Is it just me, or is today worse than yesterday?
