7 years ago in March 2017, Khalid Masood carried out a terror attack by driving a car into pedestrians on Westminster Bridge and Bridge Street, injuring over 50 people, including four casualties, before he killed a police officer at the Palace of Westminster.
Later Khalid was shot by an armed police officer and died at the scene.
