My guess is that it was random in regards to the victims themselves, but there is precedent for that particular scenario. I remember that mass stabbing in Thailand a couple years ago where the perpetrator intended to attack his child, but massacred other kids in a daycare center when his child wasn’t there.I wonder if this was completely random or if the man knew/was related to a child there?
Eight people, including a number of children, have been injured in a stabbing in a town.
Merseyside Police said officers were called to a "major incident" at a property on Hart Street in Southport at about 11:50 BST.
The force said armed police "detained a male and seized a knife" and there was "no wider threat to the public".
North West Ambulance Service (NWAS) said they had treated eight patients with stab injuries and some had been taken to Alder Hey Children's Hospital.

I was wondering that too, could it be linked to one of the dance teachers? Too early to speculate i guess. I'm still shocked and angry about what has happened here, its really difficult to get your head round it.I'm totally shocked by this too as this is my home town. It's a small town where a large part of the population are old age pensioners. There are issues, as with many seaside towns, like unemployment, drugs etc. But for someone to actually choose to go to a small dance studio and attack little girls is horrific. All I can think is that maybe it was predominantly an attack on one of the teachers, like an ex boyfriend type scenario. My heart goes out to all those involved.
