Shooting in Woolwich?
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-22630303
Police say they are responding to an incident in Woolwich, south east London, amid reports that a man has been attacked.
Scotland Yard said the incident took place in John Wilson Street, at 14:20 BST.
Pictures on Twitter appear to show three people lying on the ground surrounded by police and paramedics.
London Ambulance Service said an air ambulance and four crews were also at the scene.
A spokesperson could not confirm the number of casualties.
Police said the area around John Wilson Street was shut down.
On its Twitter account, the Metropolitan Police helicopter team called the incident "serious".
A Scotland Yard spokesman said: "Officers have responded to an incident...
"We believe at this stage officers were called to reports of an assault."
David Dixon, a local head teacher, told the BBC News Channel he walked out of the school gates and saw a body lying in the road a short distance away.
He then heard gunshots.
I've just got my handcuffs and my truncheon and that's enough.

The attacked man was wearing Help For Heroes and apparently decapitated who may or may not be from the British Armed Forces.
TV not reporting or showing all pictures from the scene as it's "Too graphic".

Sounds absolutely horrific. What some people do "in the name of God" beggars belief sometimes.

There's a backlash on Facebook and Twitter that's pretty disgusting. Britain really will become hell if people react like this.

I've deliberately avoided reading about this or the backlash for that reason.
