Two children killed and multiple others injured in knife attack in Southport, England
ai generated text
A 17-year-old male suspect has been arrested on suspicion of murder and attempted murder in connection with a stabbing attack at a Taylor Swift-themed event in northwest England. Two children were killed and nine others were injured, with six of the injured children and two adults in critical condition. The attack occurred at a children's dance class in Southport, and all injuries were as a result of stab wounds. The Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, described the events as "truly awful" and the whole country is deeply shocked.
We believe that the adults who were injured were bravely trying to protect the children.
As parents, we cannot begin to imagine what the families, friends and loved ones of those killed and injured in Southport today are going through.
We send our most heartfelt condolences, prayers and deepest sympathies to the families and loved ones of those who have so tragically lost their lives, and to all those affected by this truly appalling attack.
Our thoughts and condolences are with the victims, families, friends and wider community. It is almost impossible to imagine the grief.
