Southport | 9 year old girl confirmed as third victim

[BlueFurn]

News released. No traffic, no pedestrians for about 45 minutes…
When I think of all the times I dropped my daughter off at dance school and picked her up again…
Poor kids, families and the family of the bugger that did it..
Shite day.

But I thought it wasn't terror related so no need for Counter Terrorism.........
Convenient the person was 17 so they cannot release his name.

Awaiting Yvette's statement blaming the security of the venue.

Police ‘not treating as terrorism at this stage’

Perfectly normal in these types of incidents that local homicide work closely with special branch and counter terrorism.

A highly complex and developing investigation that might lead to him being further arrested under TACT. He’s been arrested on susp of murder-TACT gives more powers, that’s it.

In the Airport thread there was a lot of speculation and confusion. A lot of backtracking ensued.
Is the same happening here?
We really need to wait until the facts come out rather than speculation. IMHO.

This country is fucked and is only gonna get worse.
RIP to the two KIDS that have died and a speedy recovery to those injured.
Sickening!

We hear news, sometimes we don’t have good things to say about reporters but at the end of the day they are human as well. Watching poor Roger Johnson on NW Tonight get emotional and his voice breaking as he made the announcement of the deaths of these children brings it home to you.
Condolences to those parents. RIP little ones. God Bless.

Don't know how they do it, not a chance I could.

People need to let the police get on with it.

I cannot impress on people enough how impressive homicide and counter terrorism officers are.

I get people’s anger but especially if as reported he’s a juvenile, information will be limited.

My thoughts are with the poor children, their families and the adults that have been seriously injured. And also for the first responders; I can only imagine what they witnessed.

This is one of the worst crimes in my lifetime. Truly horrific.

Well said. Truly heartbreaking.

Unfortunately, and sadly, predictably, a lot of accusations being lobbed about in here when little or no information has been released. Backed up by, ‘according to reports I’ve read’

Some crank on Twitter isn’t ‘reports’

Those poor children. Bless them, beautiful angels.

Utterly speechless at the depravity some of us so called human beings are capable of.

Thoughts are very much with those poor victims and their families.

Sky News just said the room contained some of the community’s most vulnerable.

Awful day .

We need to reconsider and bring back the death sentence. There is no place in our society for any people who are capable of committing this type of crime.
