London Police Arrests Man For Throwing Shotgun Cartridges At Buckingham Palace

On Tuesday, May 2, police in London caught a man after items presumed to be shotgun cartridges were thrown into the grounds of Buckingham Palace.

The Incident

As per The Times Of India, the triggering incident happened four days before King Charles III and Queen Camilla’s coronation.

There have been no reports of guns fired or injuries to police officers or members of the public, and police stated they are not evaluating the situation as connected to terrorism. Police discovered a knife in the suspect’s hands when they detained him on suspicion of having an offensive weapon.
