Right now something is going in London and no one knows exactly what. A car mowed down several pedestrians on Westminster Bridge. Parliament has been evacuated after gunshots and possible explosions. (Updates at bottom of post.)

I’m guessing this is white nationalists unhappy with the speed of Brexit. But I might be wrong.
UPDATE: BBC reports a police officer has been stabbed as well. There are two or more separate incidents. Armed officers are inside Palace of Westminster and Parliament is on lock down.
UPDATE:
BBC report just now: "At least four people lying on the ground, some bleeding heavily and apparently unconscious on Westminster Bridge."
