King Charles has said he is ‘profoundly shocked’ after two children were killed and nine others injured – six critically – after a horror attack at a Taylor Swift-themed dance workshop this morning.
Armed police and paramedics swooped on the town of Southport, Merseyside, just before midday after a knifeman walked into the dance school and launched a ‘ferocious attack’ that left mothers arriving to pick up their kids screaming in horror.
As well as the two fatalities, 11 others, including nine more children, were stabbed at the sold-out dance, yoga and bracelet making workshop, which was just minutes from finishing.
