Officials have accounted for the 43 University of Tennessee students and four faculty members in London, and all are safe, UT said Monday.
Oak Ridge Today has received a report that one of the students is from Oak Ridge, but UT wasn’t able to confirm that. AÂ spokesperson said she didn’t have access to student information.
“I can tell you we have 43 students and four faculty members in London, and all have been accounted for/are safe,” said Katherine Saxon, UT coordinator for student communications and social media team member.
Seven people were killed and 48 others were injured in the terror attacks in London on Saturday. Eleven people have been detained in raids after the attacks, and the attackers are expected to be named “when the investigation permits,” CNN reported Monday, citing British officials.
During the Saturday attacks, three men rammed a van into pedestrians on London Bridge and went on a stabbing spree in nearby Borough Market.
More information will be added as it becomes available.
