The Met police have confirmed they received reports of shots fired on Oxford Street this afternoon, as they were called to an incident at 16:38.

The Met added that officers were responding "as if the incident is terrorist related".

"At this stage police have not located any casualties," the statement said.

Oxford Street Underground station has been evacuated, according to the British Transport Police, with reports on Twitter of shoppers on Oxford Street running for cover.

We may never know the motive ...

Unless it’s just some Brit shooting a Brit. Then the reporting will be honest.

Fake news. Guns are illegal in London; this couldn’t have happened.

Will stay tuned. London has imported millions of savages, and anyone of them could start putting into practice the vile exhortation of their holy book.

Mustn’t jump to conclusions. Mustn’t condemn a whole class of people. Don’t get on your high horse. Christians are terrorists too. The pope says so. Has nothing to do with *slam.

Nothing more frightening than when some guy in a monks robe suddenly starts yelling “Jesus Saves”. When you hear that, duck and cover.

Live feed shows police and people just standing around. Unable to find evidence of gunshots, no one injured. Looks like a false alarm.

“... this couldn’t have happened.”

You’re right. It didn’t. Some honcho in London (Metropolitan Police Chief?) recently issued a statement that there is no evidence of any gunfire, and no evidence of any attack.

Although I appreciated some coverage of the event, the cables spent seemingly hours repeating themselves over and over again long after it was known it was nothingburger news. Well, I got the house cleaned and a salad made for dinner during the tedious hours they were showing flashing squad car lights, people walking the sidewalks with their sale packages, and other exciting scenes.

But but but nobody owns any handguns or “assault” rifles in formerly-Great Britain! At least, they’re against the law to own!
