One person was killed and five others were injured in a knife attack in central London's Russell Square, London Metropolitan Police said. A suspect has been detained.
Police did not give a motive but said, "Terrorism is one possibility being explored at this stage."
The incident comes just hours after authorities announced London would increase its presence of armed police after recent terror attacks in Europe. Ref. CNN.
At first they called this a terrorist attack likely because it was a guy from Somalia but they're saying now that he has mental health issues. The person killed was actually an American!
