Witnesses at the scene reported seeing a white van hit pedestrians on London Bridge, before three men disembarked the vehicle and began attacking bystanders and those in the busy pubs and bars at nearby Borough Market. One witness, Gerard, told the BBC: "They were running up shouting, 'This is for Allah.' They stabbed this girl maybe 10 times, 15 times. She was going, 'Help me, help me.'" Another witness, Steven Gibbs, also told the BBC: "A black cab drove past and the driver shouted, 'Terrorist attack, run!' "I stood up to take a look and then all of a sudden there were gunshots. Lots of people were screaming." Met Commissioner Cressida Dick has confirmed that police believe three people were involve din the attack, and that all three were shot dead by armed officers within eight minutes of police receiving the first reports of an incident. "Our understanding is that three people were involved in the attack... the threat that they posed was neutralised within eight minutes," she said.View of #LondonBridge from the News building tonight - feeling sick about this. pic.twitter.com/DZ3F0dqhjW
