Quote from bbc article: Briton Lee Hills, from Sunderland, sent the BBC a photograph of the scene of the incident. He was being kept in police lockdown in a pub about 200 metres from the scene.

There's worse places to be im lockdown I suppose.

Hope everyone is alright and there are no more of them out there.

rip mate thoughts are with all those affected by this awful crime

So it finally hit us, thought we were going to be spared a little while longer due to our foreigner policys being way stricter than for example Sweden... Reports say that the first victim was a mother with her children, stabbed multiple times. The children are apparently OK. Getting tired of this shit...

Do Finnish police all have guns?

Yup, they very seldomly use them though. Something like 15 shots fired nation wide on a yearly basis

Maybe if all our coppers were armed the London knife attacks might have come to a swifter end.

I'm sure they were killed within 8 minutes of 999 call. I'd say that was pretty swift like.

Pretty sure he was a security guard.

Nope. British Transport Police officer. Fought off all three knife attackers with just his batton. Left blind in one eye. The attackers then moved on to Brough Market and killed again after his intervention. If he had been armed with a gun on the other hand. Have a read...

Apologies, you are correct. Brave lad, I'm sure a gun would have been the answer here.
