Was about to post this. There isn't much information right now.



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).

It is getting reported now as a 'Mayor Incident'.






As well as #LondonBridge officers have also responsed to an incident in #BoroughMarket. We have armed police at the scenes

No warning' this was about to happen


Whitehall officials say the police are leading on this incident, not intelligence agencies.

It appears to have taken the authorities by surprise, i.e. there was no intelligence warning or surveillance indicating this was about to happen.


...






no big deal



Ok I'm gonna go out on a limb and put $10 on this one being a buddhist extremist.



THIRD 'incident' in Vauxhall

Police are responding to an incident in Vauxhall in south London, Scotland Yard said.






Atleast one fatality confirmed sigh...
