A man has died and two are injured after police responded to a reported machete attack in south-east London.
Eyewitnesses said a man was attacked in the street by two individuals who were later shot by officers.
Local MP Nick Raynsford said the dead man was a soldier serving at Woolwich barracks but the Ministry of Defence could not confirm this.
A meeting of the government's emergency response committee Cobra has been called by the home secretary.
Mr Raynsford said police have removed a "substantial number of weapons" from the scene, including knives and at least one firearm.
London Ambulance Service confirmed one man had been found dead at the scene.
It said two men had been taken to hospital, one in a serious condition.
One of the men was airlifted from the scene, and another was taken away by road ambulance
A spokesperson said an air ambulance and four crews had attended the scene.
​

Witnesses reported by the Press Association said two people had been shot after armed police were called to an incident in which a man was attacked with a machete-style knife.
One witness, identified only as James, said two men had attacked another man, aged about 20, who was wearing a Help for Heroes T-shirt.
"These two guys were crazed. They were just animals. They dragged him from the pavement and dumped his body in the middle of the road and left his body there," he told LBC radio.
He said after the "horrendous" attack, the two men, who were also in their 20s, stood around, waving knives and a gun, and asked people to take pictures of them "as if they wanted to be on TV or something".
"They were oblivious to anything, they were more worried about having their photo taken, running up and down the road," he said.
Thomas, a witness who contacted the BBC, said: "I got there minutes after it happened because you could hear gunshots from Woolwich High Street.
"Basically two men carried out an axe attack on a young army cadet walking along the street, by the looks of things the police responded and then shot them in front of the public, at the same time I couldn't really tell if the cadet was fatally or not hurt as police were crowded around him."
