According to the Guardian's live feed on the incident, station staff at Monument station in the City of London say that five people have been injured, possibly by a person or persons with a knife. That number has not been confirmed by official reports yet.

One man has been shot by police. We will provide further information when possible.
A wide area has been cordoned off, with trains and tube service at London Bridge cancelled until at least later this afternoon. The Guardian has also said that Monument station has been closed. Bus routes and roads in the area are majorly affected. Avoid the entire area for now.
Londonist is not a rolling news site, and we suggest using a source such as the Guardian or BBC for the latest on this incident.
