U.K. police officers shot and killed a man in south London who stabbed two people in a terrorism-related incident that the Metropolitan Police said was “Islamist-related.”

Police said a third person received minor injuries probably caused by glass following the discharge of a police weapon. All three victims were taken to London hospitals, one with life-threatening injuries. Specialist officers established that a device strapped to the suspect’s body was a hoax explosive.
