London attack: Violent Woolwich attack that killed 1 may be Terror Attack

London Violent Woolwich attack that killed 1 could be Terror Attack, One man was killed and two others wounded in a reported machete attack in London on Wednesday, as one UK official said the attack could be terror-related. Witnesses told the BBC that a man was attacked in the street by two individuals, one of whom was armed with a "machete-style knife." The two suspects were later shot by officers, the BBC reports.

British Prime Minister David Cameron condemned the killing as "truly shocking," and asked Home Secretary Theresa May to call an urgent meeting of the government's emergency committee. Britain's Ministry of Defense said it was urgently investigating reports that a serving soldier was involved in the incident.

A British government official who requested anonymity because he was not authorized to speak about the investigation said details had emerged that were indicative of a "terrorist-motivated attack."  Scotland Yard said officers responded to reports of the assault Wednesday afternoon in the southeast London neighborhood of Woolwich, just a few blocks from a military training barracks. London Ambulance service said one man was found dead at the scene and two other men were taken to the hospital, with one in serious condition.

"These two guys were crazed. They were just animals," one witness, identified as James, told LBC radio. "They dragged him from the pavement and dumped his body in the middle of the road and left his body there." Live television images of the scene showed a trail of blood staining a pavement, cordoned off streets and crime scene investigators marking the scene.

David Dixon, head teacher of a nearby primary school, said police told him there was a serious incident. He said he saw a body lying in the road outside. He told the BBC that he then made sure children were inside and put the school into lockdown mode. He said he then heard shots fired. The Independent Police Complaints Commission, which is called in when officers are involved in shootings, confirmed that it is investigating the incident, which took place near the Royal Artillery Barracks.

The barracks -- which house a number of the King's Troop Royal Horse Artillery and independent companies of the Grenadier and Coldstream Guards -- were the site of shooting events during the 2012 London Olympics.
