On the evening of the 3rd local time, three security incidents occurred at London Bridge, a market near London Bridge and Vauxhall in southwest London. At present, the first two incidents have been deemed by the police as terrorist attacks, resulting in 7 deaths and 48 injuries.

This is the third time this year that the UK has suffered a terrorist attack.

At around 11 o'clock that night, a street not far from London Bridge, where the incident occurred, and most of the surrounding area had been cordoned off by the police. The police require all vehicles not to stay at the scene. Visitors must confirm their identity before they are allowed to get out of the car and enter the vicinity of the scene.

At the time of the incident, London citizen Neil Tate happened to be watching a friend's exhibition at a museum near London Bridge. After hearing that someone stabbed someone with a knife on London Bridge, he and the people in the exhibition hall Others began to evacuate. While rushing home, passing through Borough Market, Tate saw police arresting two suspects.

At around 12:00 that night, several gunshots were heard at the scene. The police immediately expanded the blockade, and more and more media reporters gathered nearby.

When he arrived at the scene, he not only heard gunshots, but also saw several armed police officers performing their duties, and some people ran away from the scene in panic. come out.

"Everyone looked very scared," Rich said. He believes that from now until the general election on June 8, the UK will still face a severe counter-terrorism situation.

Despite this, Ritchie is very concerned about the security of the UK. The situation remains optimistic, "Terrorist attacks are only a small probability event, and our lives will continue tomorrow."
