Loads of speculation flying about as per, I wish people would zip it.

[Red Beret]

Fucking hell? Is this a terror attack or some random nutjob?

Poor kids! I despair sometimes

[So… Howard Philips]

Loads of speculation flying about as per, I wish people would zip it.

That’s the problem today. An out of comment social media comment or clip and speculation rages.

Should just wait until the full story comes out but more than likely the ‘speculators’ won’t believe anything from the MSM that contradicts their chosen conspiracy theory.

[CraigDS]

Just fyi, what I said isn't social media speculation, is from someone directly involved.

[Andy @ Allerton!]

My family are ok thankfully. My niece works in Southport town centre and she's ok as well.

[Red Beret]

Looks like the person responsible is in custody thank goodness. I'm glad they were taken alive.

Happened in Hart Street apparently

'An arrest has been made and there is no wider risk to the public'
Statement from Merseyside's Police & Crime Commissioner Emily Spurrell.

Like everyone, I am deeply shocked and concerned about the major incident in #Southport this morning.

An arrest has been made and there is no wider risk to the public.

I would urge people to be careful about what they share online and not to speculate about this incident.

Official updates will follow shortly.

Alder Hey declares a critical incident.  terrible

Just fyi, what I said isn't social media speculation, is from someone directly involved.

I realised after I posted it might look like I was having a dig, was referring to the nobheads spouting off on Twitter and in my work.

[frag]

My little boy wasn't far from this when it happened, spending the day with my parents. Immediate panic set in when initial reports started dropping. I can't even imagine what the kids and the parents are going through after something like this. The response seems to have been really rapid.

Nah don't worry I did assume you meant those on the likes of Twitter - just thought I'd clarify.

Yeah my in-laws took my kids into southport on friday for the afternoon, it's always terrifying when something like this happens down the road.

[Son of Spion]

Been told it was apparently at a kids club, 2 dead and 20+ injured.

I sincerely hope the deaths mentioned are not true. How grim. It's been a bad few days in Southport, what with the farmer shot dead the other day and now this.

[Son of Spion]

Oh no! One person (a child) now confirmed dead and others critically injured.

This is horrific.

[thaddeus]

Horrendous stuff.  Fingers crossed for anyone involved.

[Son of Spion]

One person confirmed dead. Thought to be a child, according to the Echo.

[sheepfest]

Awful news.

Just heard about this from my folks as they were taking my daughter tomorrow for the day. Makes you think about how many kids are going there for the usual summer day visit.

[TSC]

Eyewitness apparently said a number of young girls were stabbed

Absolutely horrific, isn't it.

[Draex]

What the fuck is wrong with some people, this is just horrific.

[TSC]

Absolutely horrific, isn't it.

Used to work for Southport hospital but quite telling it is Alder Hey that’s declared a major incident.  Air ambulance’s used too.

[Circa1892]

The animal who did this needs to be put in a jail with no special protection and it to be made abundantly clear to all and sundry what they’ve done.

[Fruity]

Awful news.

Really feel for the parents and children involved.

[Snail]

Still ambulances on the scene and people being worked on by the looks of it: https://xcancel.com/paddyedrichecho/status/1817923003809685583?s=46&t=a0F-rbGWwDr4OAWFEmOwcQ

[Qston]

Thank god. Saw the news only about 15 mins ago and called my daughter straightaway who has gone to Southport with her friend today. She's fine, but that initial breaking news and then realisation of where a member of your family are is horrendous.

I cannot fathom what the hell is going on on someone's head to do something like this, and involving young kids.

Can’t see anything in that piece about people still being worked on only ambulances leaving the site.

Just the Echo belatedly trying to appear current.

[Nobby Reserve]

You never know how reliable passed-on FB posts are, but one claiming to be an eye witness claims a man with a hoodie pulled up simply walked in, stabbed the woman giving the workshop, then set about stabbing the kids.


(if reports about his appearance are correct, then certain sections of society and the media are going to seek to use it)

[Red-Soldier]

    At least eight people, feared to include several children, have been stabbed in Southport, where a man with a knife was arrested.

    Armed police arrested a man and seized a knife after being called to the “major incident” at a property on Hart Street, in Southport, north of Liverpool, at about 11.50am on Monday.

    The man has been taken to a police station and there was no wider threat to the public, police said.

    North West ambulance service said it had so far treated eight patients with stab injuries, who have been taken to Alder Hey children’s hospital, Aintree university hospital and Southport and Formby hospital.

    Alder Hey children’s hospital declared a major incident and asked parents not to bring their children to the emergency department unless it was urgent.

    The home secretary, Yvette Cooper, has said she is “deeply concerned” over the major incident in Southport.

[WhereAngelsPlay]

Sickening.

[Son of Spion]

Apparently this happened at The Hart Space and it was a summer dance camp Taylor Swift party for kids.

Apparently it was a kids Taylor Swift party at The Hart Space.

My wife knows the owner. Could very easily have sent our daughter to this. It's chilling.
