DEVELOPING – At least two people were shot and about a dozen were injured after a shooting outside the House of Parliament in London on Wednesday, reports say.
London police confirmed officers were called to 'firearms incident' on Westminster Bridge near the Parliament building. No other information was available.
The leader of Britain's House of Commons says a man has been shot by police at Parliament. David Liddington also said there were "reports of further violent incidents in the vicinity."
Witnesses on scene said about a dozen people were injured on the Westminster Bridge. Another witness told Sky News that there was an "almighty crash" as a vehicle hit the railings outside Parliament.
A witness told Sky News: "Someone rushed through, attacked a policeman... he appeared to be carrying a knife. We heard lots of gunfire."

Journalists at the Parliament building said they were told to stay in their offices.
The Press Association news agency reported that two people were seen lying within the grounds of Parliament.
