Just terrible, those poor kids. And the two dance teachers as well, how brave they were trying to defend the children.

Those poor children were just looking to go to a dance event with their families and are now either in hospital beds or body bags. I also have immense respect for the two adults who were trying to protect the children.

I hope they all make a full physical recovery, and will be able to begin healing mentally, even if they may never be able to fully heal.

"Parry said the children involved were primary school age
and that one older girl,
believed to be a teenager,
had been stabbed
as she tried to usher the youngsters to safety out of the building.

He said:
'He just stabbed her in the back as well
while she was trying to get the other kids back'.

Locals were bringing children out of the building trying to tend to their injuries
before the emergency services arrived."


RIP to the victims :(
My sincerest condolences to grieving families.

May those in hospital recover.

I also hope they physically recover.

I don’t know that you ever fully recover from an attack like this. You survive. You hopefully develop resiliency and strength and thrive surrounded by the love and care of those around you and those who did their utmost to help.

Every caretaker and parent and parent and child there has seen pure evil regardless of the motive(s) that come to light. May they now be surrounded by grace as they move forward.

It appears to have come directly from the police: https://www.merseyside.police.uk/ne...ennedy-following-major-incident-in-southport/

"It is with great sadness that today I am here to advise that two young children have died as a result of injuries sustained in a knife attack this morning.

"Nine other children have been injured, and six of them are in a critical condition, all those injured have suffered stab wounds sustained during the attack. Two adults are also in a critical condition after being injured during the incident.

"A 17-year-old male from Banks in Lancashire, who was born in Cardiff, has been arrested on suspicion of murder and attempted murder and has been taken to a police station where he will be interviewed by detectives

"My officers were called to reports of a stabbing at 11.47am at an address Southport. When they arrived they were shocked to find that multiple people, many of whom were children, had been subjected to a ferocious attack and had suffered serious injuries.

"It is understood that the children were attending a Taylor Swift event at a dance school when the offender, who was armed with a knife, walked into the premises and started to attack those inside. We believe that the adults who were injured were trying to protect the children at the time they were attacked.

"As a mum of two daughters, and the nanna of a five-year-old granddaughter, I cannot begin to imagine the pain and suffering the families of the victims are currently going through and I want to send them our heartfelt condolences and sympathies.

It's scary how easily idiots on social media can whip up hatred by posting false information. They are so desperate for all criminals to be foreigners.

Yes, it's scary. Not a single person source checked this. The UK police do not name suspects until they are charged. They don't name minors even then. The name minors after conviction if court agree or when they turn 18. That's nothing new and not a conspiracy theory. The rumours were started in much the same way everyone was adamant the Plymouth shooter came on a boat, he did not.

BNO News is a news service that supplies news to media outlets including MSM. If it's not an approved source on WS, I would be very disappointed and baffled.

This is such a horrible attack targeting little children

Thank you to the brave dance teachers for trying to stop the attack I hope they survive their injuries (from my experience of holiday clubs these people are probably quite young to so it really is heroic)

This world is getting more & more scary by the day.

My thoughts go out to the families of the two children who died and I also send my best wishes to those fighting for their lives tonight.

Also my thoughts go to our wonderful emergency workers who witnessed that scene today
