A Taylor Swift-themed dance workshop in the UK turned into something straight out of a horror movie … when a mass stabbing left a young girl dead and 7 others injured.
The terror struck Monday in Southport, England … when an unidentified knife-wielding maniac decked out in a black hood went on a rampage at a kids’ dance and yoga workshop attended by at least 25 young girls — aged 6 to 11.
All of the injured victims were rushed to 3 local children’s hospitals … but tragically, one young girl didn’t make it.
Police were able to track the suspect and take him into custody
Reaction to the violence opened a window into how the world views the U.S. — one local resident told the BBC, the chaos and violence felt like something you’d see in America, not Southport … which is usually known for its calm and pleasant vibe.
UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer also condemned the horrendous news on X … sharing his thoughts with those affected and thanking the police and emergency services for their quick response.
Merseyside Police have the suspect in jail, but so far, they haven’t revealed a motive behind his actions.
