Southport update: Two very small children dead, several others seriously injured, including adults trying to defend them




Two children were killed and several others have been severely injured after a suspected teenage knifeman attacked a Taylor Swift-themed holiday dance class in Southport, England.

The 17-yr-old is said to be originally from Cardiff, police say.

Police said that they are not treating the incident as terror-related but say that the man’s motive “remains unclear”.

The man is said to be from Banks, a village outside Southport, with police now stationed outside an address.

Merseyside Police say that they have declared a major incident at the scene in Southport, after receiving emergency calls just before midday, with armed response vehicles, 13 ambulances and the fire service descending on the mass casualty scene, a school holiday club for children aged six to 11.
