Three Killed in Alleged Late-Night Van Rampage

A British city center was locked down by police on Tuesday after three people were killed and three others injured in a series of alleged van attacks, according to authorities and media reports.

Police were called to an incident in Nottingham, East Midlands, shortly after 4 a.m. where two people lay dead in the street. They were then called to another incident nearby where a van had allegedly tried to run three people over—they were taken to hospital for treatment. Another man was found dead at a third location.

“This is an horrific and tragic incident which has claimed the lives of three people,” said Kate Meynell, chief constable of Nottinghamshire Police. “We believe these three incidents are all linked and we have a man in custody.”
