At least seven people were killed and dozens injured on Saturday night in what British authorities are calling a “brutal terror attack” in London, reports ABC News.
Scotland Yard said the police shot and killed three suspected assailants, according to the BBC.
The alleged militants drove a van into pedestrians on London Bridge before stabbing people on the streets and in bars in nearby Borough Market, NBC News reported.
London Mayor Sadiq Khan called the incident a “horrific terrorist attack.”
He added: “This is a deliberate and cowardly attack on innocent Londoners and visitors to our city enjoying their Saturday night.”
This comes two months after a driver struck pedestrians on Westminster Bridge, and nearly two weeks after a bombing outside an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester.
