  • Story Text:People were escorted by police across London Bridge after militants drove a van at high speed into pedestrians and then stabbed Saturday night revellers on the street and in nearby bars, killing at least six people and wounding more than 30.
    Armed police rushed to the scene and shot dead the three male attackers in the Borough Market area near the bridge, as authorities urged Londoners on Twitter to "run, hide, tell" if they were caught up in the violence.
    The attacks come days ahead of a June 8 election and less than two weeks after a suicide bomber killed 22 people at a pop concert by U.S. singer Ariana Grande in Manchester in northern England. There was no immediate claim of responsibility.
