On Wednesday, the world was rocked again when London, England, came under attack from an assailant that first plowed his car into pedestrians on the Westminster Bridge before stabbing a police officer inside the gates of Parliament. The attack resulted in five deaths, including the assailant, and more than 40 injured. British Prime Minister Theresa May condemned the attack as a “sick and depraved terrorist attack.”
