Utah man killed, wife injured in London attack
A man from the US state of Utah has been killed and his wife injured in a deadly attack in London, family members have confirmed.
Kurt Cochran and his wife Melissa Cochran were in London visiting the woman's parents, who are serving a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, a church spokesman said, and were caught in the attack.
The incident happened on Wednesday when a man mowed down pedestrians on London's Westminster Bridge in a vehicle, then proceeded to the Parliament where he stabbed a police officer.
Four people were killed, including the attacker, and about 40 others were injured.
The other victims of the attack have been named as police officer Keith Palmer and Aysha Frade, who worked at a London college.
The assailant was shot dead by armed officers.
According to a family statement issued by the woman's family, Kurt Cochran died of injuries sustained in the attack.
"Kurt was a good man and a loving husband to our daughter and sister, Melissa. They were in Europe to celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary, and were scheduled to return to the United States on Thursday," the family said.
The family said Melissa Cochran is hospitalized with “serious” injuries.
On Wednesday, US President Donald Trump said he had spoken with British Prime Minister Theresa May to express his condolences following the attack.
According to May, the attacker was British-born and known to the police and intelligence services.
The British police identified the attacker as 52-year-old Khalid Masood.
