'Van hits pedestrians' on London Bridge in 'major incident'

[Wingnut]

Colombo was and still is one of my favorite TV shows. One old episode he went to London and solved a murder with Scotland Yard.

The butler didn’t do it!

Always thought if I went into service, I'd be a chauffeur.

No one EVER said "The chauffeur did it."

That's true.  Why do chauffeurs get a pass?

@TomSea

Well,since he was shot in the head and is expected to survive,it seems pretty clear to me he must be a Dim and was lucky to have been hit in a non-vital area.

That's not real, is it?

No. It's not real.

London attack: Men 'planned to use 7.5 tonne lorry'
By Tom Symonds Home Affairs correspondent

The London Bridge attackers tried to hire a seven-and-a-half tonne lorry to carry out their attack, police say.

But the three men failed to provide payment details and the vehicle was not picked up, prompting them to use a smaller van from a DIY store instead.

The men drove into pedestrians on the bridge before stabbing people in Borough Market seven days ago.

Police said the men tied 12in (30cm) pink ceramic knives to their wrists and had petrol bombs in the van.

Eight people were killed and dozens more were injured in the attack, which began shortly before 22:00 BST on 3 June.

Khuram Shazad Butt, Rachid Redouane and Youssef Zaghba have been named as the attackers, who were all shot dead.
Two arrests

Scotland Yard wants more witnesses to come forward and is also appealing to companies who hire out vans to report any suspicious activity.
