Riot police have been called to the scene at a mosque in Southport to control the situation after a tragic incident where several children were stabbed, resulting in the deaths of three young girls. The girls were identified as Bebe King, Elsie Dot Stancombe, and Alice Dasilva Aguiar, and their families have expressed their grief and love for their lost ones.

The incident occurred at a Taylor Swift-themed dance workshop, which quickly turned into a nightmare for the participants. A 17-year-old boy from Banks has been detained in connection with the stabbings, and the police are still investigating the motive behind the attack.

Following the incident, chaos erupted outside the mosque in Southport, with angry crowds throwing bricks and setting off fireworks. The situation escalated to the point where riot police had to intervene, as protesters clashed with law enforcement officers.

A fundraiser set up for the victims of the stabbing has raised over £200,000, showing the community’s support for the families affected by the tragedy. Additionally, the Portuguese prime minister has offered his condolences, as one of the victims was a Portuguese national.

Members of parliament have also paid tribute to the children who lost their lives in the attack, emphasizing the need for unity and support for the grieving families. A vigil was held in Southport, where residents came together to mourn the loss of the young girls and show their solidarity.

In the midst of the tragedy, there have been calls to avoid spreading misinformation and speculations about the incident on social media. Shadow home secretary James Cleverly urged the public to be mindful of the impact of false information and to prioritize the well-being of the affected families.

As the investigation continues and the community grapples with the aftermath of the stabbing, the support and solidarity shown by the residents of Southport and beyond serve as a reminder of the strength and resilience of the human spirit in the face of tragedy.
