It was another instance of someone driving a vehicle through a crowd and running people over. The driver then got out and stabbed a cop before being shot.

It appears to be something they rushed online without knowing what was really going on.
There was at least one shooting.

This was not a mass shooting event, however. People mowed down with a vehicle, two stabbed, at least one shot.
Guardian says car drove at people on the Westminster Bridge

Maybe double-digits injured, but still hard to follow what actually happened.
it seems that the person who was shot was the perpetrator

Glad you're ok EA
There's a pic of the terrorist.

At first I was cautious about it since it could have been a victim, but another pic has a cop pointing a firearm at him and the knife on the ground.

It's over on Zero Hedge if you want to see it. The description in the article is somewhat misleading. It says Asian, but he appears to me to more likely be Middle Eastern, Afghan or Pakistani.

Pakistan and Afghanistan are part of Asia. Other parts of the world use Asian/South Asian to desrcibe people from these regions more than we do here where Chinese/Japanese etc are deemed "Asian" by most Americans.
Awful.

So the cop fired on him once the knife was on the ground and he was no longer a threat?
The perp was a radical muslim cleric....

They may be mistaken about that. The man they have named is supposedly still in jail since Jan according to his lawyer

I saw a tweet that quoted his lawyer as saying he last saw him in court in January, but nothing about being in jail.

Here's a link, to the tweeter, with more follow up info.

I do see there are other tweeted reports  
Mike in Marin : 3/22/2017 4:26 pm : link
about his brother and someone else saying he is in jail.

But so many news reports are reporting it as him. Clearly, everything must be taken with a grain of salt this early on either way.
