There have been as many as eight casualties at a studio where a Taylor Swift-themed dance class was believed to be taking place.

Armed officers detained a man and seized a knife after attending Hart Street in Southport at 11.50am on Monday.

One child is believed to have been killed, a local councillor said.

Merseyside Police said there is “no wider threat to the public” and residents were urged to avoid the area.

Police hold a press conference following the incident.

  • This is getting out of control, get these murders out of our country. Im so tired of this, nobody deserves to die like that, especially our younger generation
  • Ali al the asylum seeker is not Welsh. Not from Cardiff. Stop lying to us and treating us like we are stupid. Shame on you
  • @bobjrdj
    We know the outcome of this terrible event already. He will be found to have mental issues and totally innocent of his actions, be given a nice cosy life with all possible luxuries and amenities in an institute somewhere. How can this not be classed as terrorism? Those poor kids were surely terrified? It beggars belief.
  • @skruffs1537
    So they are implying the guys Welsh? pee off!" :face-fuchsia-poop-shape::face-fuchsia-poop-shape::face-fuchsia-poop-shape::face-fuchsia-poop-shape:
  • @bucko321
    Not very nice to say the man was from Cardiff or Bank, the truth will come out in time.
  • @paulgrant285

  • @EpicAelflaed
    17 year old ali al shakati has been arrested - came on a boat and claimed asylum and was on the watch list with mental health problems
  • That’s odd , ambulance service do a live press conference… we still don’t know what happened..
  • @kathy7253
    Not to worry. He'll only have to serve half his time under Labour if he's found guilty.
  • @trooper64428
    Now tell us he's a 17 year old immigrant from Syria. They know who the offender is and how he got there and they know his name. And it isn't "John Smith".
  • @Cliff589
    tell us the identity please we all know its one of them again is it not.
  • @babyamy3884
    So was he a foreigner, it’s getting confusing one minute he’s foreign and the next he’s from Cardiff
  • My heart is hurting for the families im angry as heck. It's a sad situation
  • Its a terrest attack hes probly 33 and hes a child of 17 that why they will not release hes name
  • @Sunrise01118
    Whilst we do not know who these foreign guys are they should be kept in a holding centre when getting off the boats. Until we are 100% sure they are no threat to the peoples of the uk!
  • @razor2ts
