On this day, Khalid Masood drove a car at 122 km/h into pedestrians along the pavement on the south side of Westminster Bridge and Bridge Street, injuring more than 50 people, four of them fatally. He then crashed the car into railings on Bridge Street at the north perimeter of the Palace of Westminster, got out of the car and ran around the corner into Parliament Square and through the open Carriage Gates where he fatally stabbed an unarmed police officer, PC Keith Palmer. An armed police officer witnessed the stabbing, ran towards the scene and shot Masood dead. The entire attack lasted 82 seconds. In a WhatsApp message sent by Masood shortly before his attack, he reportedly said he was waging jihad to revenge Western military action in Muslim countries of the Middle East. Police found no link with a terrorist organisation and believe Masood acted alone.
