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.

Wrong. In fact, almost diametrically opposite to the truth. I guess that's what you get when you treat Rupert Murdoch publications as "news".
The ex-offender attending the prisoner rehab thing was actually one of the guys who helped bring down the attacker: https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2019/dec/01/ex-offender-marc-conway-helped-tackle-london-bridge-attacker [theguardian.com]
Yes, that's right, a convicted murder risked his life to save innocent members of the public. But you just carry dismissing rehabilitation as foolish political correctness, you pillock.
