There are reports of shots being fired outside the Houses of Parliament and the Palace of Westminster is reportedly in lockdown.
Politicians and journalists have tweeted about hearing loud crashes outside the buildings, as witnesses said they saw people being treated for injuries.
Witnesses have reported seeing a man with a knife within the palace grounds.
A police officer has also told the BBC's political editor Laura Kuenssberg that someone has been shot outside Portcullis House.

From Guardian Live:

Commons Leader David Lidington has told MPs a “police officer has been stabbed” and the “alleged assailant was shot by armed police” following a “serious” incident within the parliamentary estate, PA reported.

In a packed house of commons, Lidington said:

At the moment the very clear advice from the police and director of security in the house is we should remain under suspension and the chamber remain in lockdown until we receive advice that it is safe.

Scary stuff. Hope we don't hear of too many serious injuries or innocent fatalities.

What I find shocking is people recording dead/dying/injured people and putting it on social media instead of helping.

Appears the incident on the bridge was first, then a policeman was stabbed outside of Parliament before the suspect was shot.

I know its horrible but these things can't also help the police, they are asking people to inform the police if they have any footage so they can look at it.

Mind you saying that I imagine this area is well covered with CCTV.

Agree with what Paul and Meady have said. Wish people just used a bit of common sense with what they're putting out online after attacks/disasters.

Even if thats the case, maybe send them directly to the Police then instead of looking for retweets or thumbs up. Its tragic man, this is just a computer game to some people. Theres some MP live tweeting a guy getting CPR and lamenting the 'rules' that he can't take pictures. This is the first time I've 'watched' news story like this on Twitter. Never again.

They ask for them through a special website rather than Twitter or Facebook though.

Also, no matter what you think about the police or the government, the amazing work the security services and police officers do to keep us safe is bloody commendable.

Please use common sense and restraint in circulating pictures and videos of those that have been injured during the incident in #Westminster

I think anyone filming a situation when there are still first responders rushing to help needs to have a look at themselves.
