An attacker with a knife killed two children and wounded 11 other people, including six youths in critical condition, at a dance class in northern England on Monday, police said. A 17-year-old male has been arrested on suspicion of murder and attempted murder in Southport, near Liverpool in northwest England, in an attack that also left two adults with critical injuries, Merseyside Police said. Police chief Serena Kennedy said that the attack was not being treated as terror-related, and that the attacker's motivation was unclear. All of those injured had been stabbed, she added. Prime Minister Keir Starmer told the media that "the events today are just truly awful, the whole country is deeply shocked". "Our thoughts and condolences are with the victims, families, friends and wider community. It is almost impossible to imagine the grief," he said.

    The parents of the individual should be deported.

    It's the responsibility of Labour party to take the entire blame for the murder of two kids. Their policies killed them! Blood on your hands, PM!
  • @Kdb-hl6gb
    How does that policewoman lie to the people that pay her a wage! Transparency is surely one of their policy’s

  • @user-zl8pt5jv9c
    What they aren't saying is that he's a 27 year old recent migrant not a cardiff born resident...stop the bs now and wake up...my wife was crying here in New Zealand for the children and adults un alived by him.

    Goody goody gum drops - sorry just checking if this gets taken down as everything else of mine gets removed.
  • @clearskies2
    The police said he came from Cardiff, but not that he was born there or was Welsh. He could easily be Syrian or Somali or whatever.
  • @Brian-om2hh
    Here's a dose of sobering logic. This sort of thing will carry on until it is stopped......
  • @erikaclose5998
    No he’s from Syria the media said. He lived in Cardiff not born ther. He came over a year ago on a boat.
