LOOKS LIKE THE U.K. NEEDS MORE KNIFE CONTROL

By Bob Walsh

 

Bebe King, 6; Elsie Dot Stancombe, 7; and Alice Dasilva Aguiar, 9, died in the mass stabbing

There was a "mass stabbing" event at a Taylor Swift-themed gathering at a dance school in Southport, Merseyside in the U.K.  There were a total of 13 injured, almost all young girls.  Three are dead and four are critical.  

An unnamed 17-year old male is in custody for the attack.  The cops are convinced that the bad guy was acting alone and are not calling this an act of terrorism, though they are unsure of the motive.  

Two of the seriously injured adults were attempting to protect the children.

It's a good thing that nobody there had a gun.  Somebody might have gotten hurt otherwise.
