Taylor Swift ‘in shock’ after 3 kids die in stabbing at Swift-themed dance class

Taylor Swift ‘in shock’ after 3 kids die in stabbing at Swift-themed dance class

Global News
Tuesday, July 30, 2024 02:44:51 PM UTC

Several children and adults are still in the hospital, with many of them in critical condition, after a stabbing attack in the U.K.

A stabbing attack at a Taylor Swift-themed dance and yoga class in England has claimed the life of another child after a nine-year-old girl died from her injuries Tuesday, bringing the death toll up to three.

Eight other children and two adults are still in the hospital, with several of them in critical condition. The two other children who died were girls ages six and seven, Merseyside Police said.

Police are questioning a 17-year-old suspect who was arrested minutes after the Monday attack in Southport.

Taylor Swift wrote in an Instagram story Tuesday that she was “completely in shock” at the “horror of yesterday’s attack.”

“These were just little kids at a dance class. I am at a complete loss for how to ever convey my sympathies to these families,” she wrote.

Witnesses described scenes “from a horror movie” as bloodied children ran from the attack just before noon on Monday.

“They were in the road, running from the nursery,” said Bare Varathan, who owns a shop nearby. “They had been stabbed, here, here, here, everywhere,” he said, indicating the neck, back and chest.

Jonathan Hayes, a local businessman, was stabbed in the leg after he heard screams from his office and ran into the dance studio to protect the children, the Telegraph reports.
