British Prime Minister Theresa May said it was “time to say enough is enough” after Islamist terrorists struck again at the heart of the country’s capital.

Seven victims are confirmed to have died, and a further 48 were injured in the attack, which began at 9:58 p.m. on Saturday when three suspects in a speeding white van drove onto London Bridge, CNN reported.

The van plowed into pedestrians at speeds of up to 50 miles per hour before mounting the sidewalk outside the Barrowboy and Banker pub.

At 10:07 p.m, ambulances arrived at the scene of the initial attack. One minute later, as police arrived at London Bridge, they began receiving reports of a second incident at nearby Borough Market.

The suspects ran through the market, entering bars and restaurants and stabbing people with knives.

At 10:16 p.m. police said the three suspects had been shot dead at Borough Market, outside the Wheatsheaf pub. Police said the attackers were wearing fake suicide vests.

It took the police eight minutes from the time they received the first emergency call to confront and kill the attackers, according to the Guardian.

ISIS has claimed responsibility for the attack, which is the third terrorist atrocity to hit the UK in just three months.
