Two People Dead After Attack at Notting Hill Carnival in London, Police Say


Two people who were critically injured in attacks while attending London’s Notting Hill Carnival earlier this week have died, police said Aug. 31.

More than 1 million people each year attend the carnival, a two-day celebration of Afro-Caribbean culture that takes place on the streets of the Notting Hill neighborhood in west London. The event draws revelers from around the world for its flamboyant dancers, colorful costumes, rousing steel bands and booming outdoor sound systems, but is sometimes marred by violence on the sidelines. The annual event in London's popular Notting Hill area attracts around a million people and is primarily a celebration of Caribbean culture.
