Two members of the public have died after a stabbing attack at London Bridge, in which police also shot dead the suspect.
The Met Police has declared the attack a terrorist incident.
The suspect, who died at the scene, was believed to have been wearing a hoax explosive device, police said.
Videos on social media appear to show passers-by holding down a man. An officer arrives, seems to indicate to the group to move, and fires a shot.
A Whitehall source confirmed two members of the public died to the BBC but gave no further information.
Details are still emerging and Neil Basu, the head of UK counter-terrorism policing, said the force was keeping an open mind over the motive.
He said officers were called to a stabbing at a premises near the bridge just before 14:00.

Where are you going to put British nationals? In theory, this guy was originally from Pakistan, so they might choose to accept him back, or they might not, him being a terrorist and all. Then you're stuck.

We're a civilized people so we should give them freedom. On a tiny uninhabited island far away from any civilization. Each will be fully equipped with their favorite tools - a knife and a Quran. Allah will decide the rest. We can name the island Allahstralia.
