Two children were tragically killed in a stabbing attack at a Taylor Swift-themed dance event in Southport, with nine others injured, six of them critically. The attack left two adults in critical condition as well. A 17-year-old boy was arrested on suspicion of murder and attempted murder in connection with the incident.
