[TaylorSwift 163,548]

A teenage boy with a knife attacked a children’s dance and yoga class in northwest England on Monday, killing 3 children and wounding 10 other people in a “ferocious” rampage that sent bloodied children running into a street to escape the horror, police and witnesses said.

The Taylor Swift-themed workshop was held on the first week of school vacation for children aged about 6 to 11. 

5 children and 2 female adults remain in a critical condition.

The suspect has been named as Axel Muganwa Rudakubana, 17, after restrictions preventing him from being identified were lifted. He turns 18 on August 7. 

He has been charged with the murders of Bebe King, 6, Elsie Dot Stancombe, 7, and Alice Dasilva Aguiar, 9; ten counts of attempted murder; and possession of a bladed article, namely a “kitchen knife with a curved blade.” 

He is remanded in youth custody.

The motive so far has not been disclosed.

What the f*** is wrong with him!? Those poor kids! No name no motive, but just aged 17? This is so sad.

Honestly horrific. 
Just senseless killing. Police aren't treating it as terrorism. But it just feels way to targeted to be anything other than some radicalised political lunacy. 

Some of the eyewitness reports I saw from the BBC and the local news earlier turned my stomach

It’s so frustrating that the person who committed this horrific crime may never be named because they’re underage by ONE year due to UK law. Unbelievable.

They don't name under 18s unless the judge decides to after the trial (if they are found guilty of course) 

All that's known is that he was born in Cardiff.

11 other people were also stabbed and Taylor Swift themed workshop seems odd to make it into the title

I mean, it's the facts of what happened. 2 little girls got murdered by a psycho at a Taylor Swift themed dance class during the summer holidays. 
The lad wasn't local, he travelled directly there - armed - with the intention to do this at that class. Either he knew someone there and went after them, or its some horrific incel who's bought into some of the MAGA conspiracies about Swift and targeted the class.

This Is absolutely terrifying. The brutality of a knife Attack Is Just impossible to Imagine. And to kids?! The surviving Kids Will have a trauma for the rest of theyre lifes. 

This almost adult Is clearly a very disturbed person. Since mental illness Is getting so out of hand. I Hope governments implement not only physical regular  evaluations but also psycological, from a young age.
