London (November 25, 2017): Police rushed to London’s busy Oxford Street shopping district on Friday after reports of shots fired sparked fears of a terror incident, but authorities said it was a false alarm.
There was panic around Oxford Circus and in its underground station shortly after 4:30 pm (1630 GMT), as police said they were responding “as if the incident is terrorist-related”.
Crowds ran from the scene, many rushing into already packed shops for safety, reflecting the nervousness in a country that has seen five terror attacks since March.
But just over an hour later, the Metropolitan Police said: “To date police have not located any trace of any suspects, evidence of shots fired or casualties.
