This morning, three people were killed in what police believe was a stabbing-vehicle attack by one suspect in Nottingham, England.
It appears that the suspect, a 31-year-old man who is in custody, fatally stabbed three people on the street in two separate incidents, stole one victim's van, and ran down a crowd of pedestrians, injuring three.
The suspect is not identified. It is noteworthy that counter-terrorism police have been called in to assist in the investigation. This, of course, fits the profile of previous stabbing and vehicle attacks that have been carried out by jihadists in many European countries, including the UK.
*Update (H/T Rair Foundation USA and Vlad Tepes: GB News (UK) is reporting that the suspect is a West African migrant with a history of violence. This has not been officially confirmed.
*Update ( June 15, 2023): The suspect is identified as Valdo Amissão Mendes Calocane.
*Update (June 16). The above suspect is reportedly from the former Portuguese colony of Guinea-Bissau.
