The National Post reports that a man plowed a car into pedestrians on London’s Westminster Bridge on Wednesday, before stabbing a police officer to death inside the gates of Parliament. The man was then shot by police.
The officer, three civilians and the attacker were all killed. About 40 other people were also injured. Some of the injuries are described as "catastrophic."
