No doubt we will be told not to 'read too much into this'. Me cynical? Nahhh. Condolences and sympathy to any innocent bystanders caught up in this though.

Update: One police officer killed, three police officers injured, Theresa May to hold emergency meeting with the government's emergency security committee to discuss the response, according to sky news.
On Sky News right now: Mark Rowley from the Metropolitan Police is giving an official police statement. He said they are 'satisfied that there was only one attacker'. 25 people injured, 4 dead so far.
At first, I thought the number twenty-five was a misquote from the female journalist on SKY, but then another guy comes on and says "four dead, twenty injured". Still seem adamant that there was only one attacker.
Two knives
The officer must have bled out internally there was surprisingly little blood around his body.
