Details of today's deadly attack in London are becoming clearer. Police now confirm that the man who ran down pedestrians with a car on Westminster Bridge is the same man who then stabbed to death an armed police officer inside the gates of Parliament before being fatally shot by police. 
 
In addition to the attacker, three people died. About 20 others were injured.
 
Police say the dead policeman was 48-year-old husband and father, Keith Palmer. He was one of the armed officers who guard Parliament. The other victims were on Westminster Bridge.
 
President Donald Trump has offered his condolences to British Prime Minister Theresa May following the deadly attack.
 
The White House says the president praised the response of security forces and first responders and pledged "the full cooperation and support'' of the U.S. to bring those responsible to justice.
 
The White House says the two leaders spoke by phone after the attack.
