My thoughts are with the victim and his family UK official says violent London attack that killed 1 may be terror-related Terrorist 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. Commander Simon Letchford of the UK Metropolitan Police confirmed that police were called to a an assault in which a man was being attacked in the street by two individuals armed with a variety of weapons, including a firearm. Letchford also said that the two attackers were shot by police and taken to separate London hospitals for treatment for their injuries. 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. Réunion de crise à Londres après un meurtre en pleine rue Scotland Yard a annoncé mercredi 22 mai avoir ouvert le feu sur deux individus suspectés d'avoir tué un troisième homme, à Woolwich, un quartier du sud-est de Londres. Selon plusieurs sources, l'homme tué serait un soldat. Un porte-parole de la police s'est refusé à préciser s'il s'agissait d'un incident de nature terroriste, comme l'ont affirmé plusieurs médias britanniques. "Les policiers ont ouvert le feu sur deux hommes qui semblaient détenir des armes. Ils ont été hospitalisés dans deux hôpitaux londoniens distincts pour y recevoir des soins", s'est contenté d'indiquer lors d'une brève conférence de presse Simon Letchford, un responsable de Scotland Yard. Des témoins cités par divers médias ont déclaré avoir entendu les agresseurs crier "Allah Akbar". D'autres, cités par l'agence AP, ont affirmé que la victime avait été décapitée, sans que cela soit confirmé. La police n'a pas commenté ces informations. La chaîne ITV News a diffusé des images filmées par un anonyme sur la scène du crime d'un homme les mains ensanglantées, armé d'un couteau et d'une machette, déclarant : "Je suis désolé que des femmes soient témoins de ça, mais dans notre pays, les femmes doivent voir les mêmes choses que [les hommes]. Vous ne serez jamais en sécurité. Virez votre gouvernement, il s'en fout de vous." "MEURTRE ATROCE"
