Wednesday, March 22, saw London hit by a terrorist attack in which at least 4 people were killed. As confirmed by The Guardian, the attacker drove a grey Hyundai into pedestrians walking across Westminster Bridge before crashing into railings. The attacker then got out of the vehicle and made their way into the grounds of the Houses of Parliament. It is here that the attacker was fatally shot after stabbing a policeman with a knife.
So far two civilians are confirmed dead alongside the attacker and police officer. A further 29 were injured, seven of whom are in a critical condition. A number of tributes have come in from musicians and artists around the world. Adele paid tribute to her hometown during a show in New Zealand while Nicki Minaj sent her condolences to the victims' families.

Thinking of those senselessly killed today in London. I hope tomorrow we pull closer together as a society, not further apart.
