Meanwhile, in Portland

The knifeman has reportedly stabbed two people to death and left a police officer fighting for his life after storming the hotel in a just a few minutes. A further five are in Glasgow Royal Infirmary, including a 17-year-old boy from Sierra Leone. It has been confirmed the attacker was shot dead by police. Police Scotland has declared a major incident and set up a half-mile cordon in the city centre after the male suspect ran into the Park Inn Hotel in West George Street and began knifing people in the reception after 1.30pm. Six people are in hospital including the wounded policeman, who is critically ill. One video from the scene shows a make police officer lying on the floor outside the hotel after being stabbed in the leg with another man sitting on the stairs appearing to hold a bleeding wound on his neck. Another man was shown being taken away in handcuffs after the suspect was shot dead.

Witness Craig Milroy, who saw the aftermath of the incident from an office building nearby, said he had seen four people taken away in ambulances. He said: 'I saw a man lying on the ground, of African descent, with no shoes on. He was on the ground with someone holding his side - I don't know if it was a bullet wound, a stab wound, or what it was.' Witness Callum O'Brien, who lives in a flat near the scene: 'I didn't see the attack and first I was aware was from multiple sirens outside. 'I can't see round the corner to where the attack took place but I have seen four people taken into ambulances. They were all taken on stretchers. One was very bloodied, the others not so much. A fifth has just been taken into an ambulance and was surrounded by paramedic and police and being given oxygen, noticeably more so than the others so this may have been the attacker but don't have anything else to go on other than that sorry.'

Mexico City’s police chief survived a brazen assassination attempt Friday morning carried out by gunmen with assault weapons and grenades. Two bodyguards protecting public security chief Omar Garcia Harfuch were killed in the attack as well as an innocent bystander. A short time later and apparently from his hospital bed, Garcia on Twitter blamed the "cowardly attack" on one of Mexcio's most violent cartels, the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, according to FOX NEWS. Mexico City Mayor Claudia Sheinbaum said a large truck holding gunmen with rifles blocked the chief's SUV and opened fire. It happened around 6:30 a.m. The third person killed in the attack was a woman who just happened to be driving past the scene. The police said in a statement that gunmen armed with .50 caliber sniper rifles and grenades exchanged fire with the chief's security detail. The statement said two police were wounded. A Mexico City official said the police chief suffered three gunshot wounds. Authorities arrested 12 suspect.
