Two children have died and 11 were injured in a mass-stabbing in Southport, U.K., Monday while attending a Taylor Swift-themed class meant for children.
"It is with great sadness that today I am here to advise that two young children have died as a result of injuries sustained in a knife attack this morning," Merseyside Police Chief Constable Serena Kennedy said Monday in a statement shared with USA TODAY.
A 17-year-old male was arrested on suspicion of murder and attempted murder, Kennedy said, noting that he will be interviewed by detectives. The suspect is from the nearby coastal village of Banks and originally from Cardiff in Wales.
