Bullet points of British police charge 17-year-old with murder in stabbing that killed 3 girls
- A 17-year-old has been charged with murder and attempted murder over a stabbing attack that left three little girls dead and several others in critical condition in Southport, UK.
- The attack occurred during a Taylor Swift-themed summer holiday dance and yoga class, where about two dozen children were attending.
- Far-right protesters clashed with police in Southport and London, with over 100 people arrested for offenses including violent disorder and assault on an emergency worker.
- The protesters were fueled by misinformation and false online rumors about the suspect, who was born in Britain and not an asylum-seeker as claimed.
- The incident is the latest in a series of violent attacks in the UK, which has seen a recent rise in knife crime and stoked anxieties.
- Taylor Swift expressed her sympathies to the families of the victims and a group of her fans raised tens of thousands of dollars to support the victims and their families.
- The attack is the worst on children in the UK since 1996, when 16 kindergartners and their teacher were killed in a school shooting in Scotland.
