A tragic knife attack in Southport, England left three children dead and six in critical condition. A 17-year-old suspect was questioned by U.K. police regarding the motive behind the rampage that also injured eight other children and two adults. Witnesses described scenes of horror as bloodied children fled from the attack at a community center.
The suspect, born in Wales, has not yet been charged. Police believe the injured adults were trying to protect the children during the attack. The incident is not being treated as terror-related, and no other suspects are being sought.
The attack has reignited concerns over knife crime in the U.K., where such incidents are on the rise. Politicians and members of the royal family have expressed shock and offered condolences to the victims and their families. The country’s worst attack on children in recent memory occurred in 1996.
