Conspiracy half wits will be all over that.

They already are - from "A civilian with a conceal carry responds to a terrorist quicker than police do." to "Some more cultural enrichment from the religion of peace? Should we start with the thoughts & prayers now or just go straight for the Facebook profile flag overlays & start running the excuses?"

And stupid bints like this one - https://twitter.com/ashllyd/status/934105946883870...

Not confirming or denying terrorist related.

Thankfully I don’t have twitter, if that is the kind of idiots who frequent it ..

Apparently a "customer incident" and nobody actually at the scene has said anything about gunshots or similar from what I've seen so far....

Seems to be a lorry has mounted the pavement with shots being fired immediately afterwards according to reports on Twitter.

"Police were called at 16:38hrs on Friday, 24 November to a number of reports of shots fired on Oxford Street and underground at Oxford Circus tube station.

Police have responded as if the incident is terrorist related. Armed and unarmed officers are on scene and dealing along with colleagues from British Transport Police.

If you are on Oxford Street go into a building and stay inside until further direction.

Avoid travelling to the Oxford Street area.

At this stage police have not located any casualities."

My ex missus just called. Just says people running and panicking and armed police. She's headed towards Tottenham Court Rd now.

Knowing her she'll shelter in some expensive bar.

Amazing replies on it, we have:

A guy with a gun
A gangfight
An explosion

:\

Very hard to determine what's true and what isn't currently.... Let's hope it isn't the worst.

It was TFL reporting it as a "customer incident" BTW.

They evacuated Selfriges and armed police inside. Shown on Sky tv.
