Edge Hill University Students injured in Westminster terrorist attack
THE shocking events in London that has that
took place at the hart of our nation, on Wednesday, 22 March 2017, has left 5
people died and 50 are injured. Court up in the attack conducted by Khalid Masood where 13 politics students and a lecturer from Edge Hill University, who
had been in London, on a 2 day field trip to the Houses of Parliament. 1 of the
13 had to remain in Hospital for treatment and all at the University said that
they wished him well. All the others we are told have returned home safely since
the incident. The University said:- "Our students, their families and the staff
member involved are being supported by the University. Counselling is available
to students and staff. Our thoughts are with all those affected by the events."
Acting Deputy Commissioner Mark Rowley has since told the press that:- "Whilst
there is no evidence of further threats you will understand our determination to
find out if he either he acted totally alone inspired by terrorist propaganda,
or he was encouraged, supported and/or directed to do this attack. At this point
I want to appeal specifically to the public. We remain keen to hear from anyone
who knew Khalid Masood well; understands who his associates were; and can
provide us with information about places he has recently visited. There might
well be people out there who did have concerns about Masood, but weren't sure or
didn't feel comfortable for whatever reason in passing information to us. I urge
anyone with such information to contact us the Anti Terrorist Hotline, which
is:- 0800 789 321." Flags are now flying across the UK at half mast on public
buildings, along with most privet buildings flying flags, in respect to the
innocent people who died and the unarmed Police Officer, PC Keith Palmer. |
