Three Jihadi knifemen are shot dead by police after killing six and hurting 30
Three Jihadi terrorists have been shot dead by armed police after killed six people and injured 30 more during a a horrific knife rampage in central London last night.
The men, described as being 'of Mediterranean origin', mowed down up to 20 revellers with a white van hurtling across London Bridge at 50mph on Saturday.

As I understand it, the Manchester killer also could have been described as "of Mediterranean origin" even though he was born in Britain.

My sympathies to the victims and their families, of course. Fortunately, the killers didn't have the firearms so readily available here or they would have been able to exact a much greater toll. --Bob

Or someone carrying could have shot them before they killed as many or any.
