Protests are continuing in the UK following the stabbing of girls attending a dance class in Southport, leaving three dead and many injured.
The grisly attack took place at a children’s dance studio in the seaside town on Monday, July 29th, when a 17-year-old man entered the studio and stabbed the children with a knife, killing three and injuring many more. Witnesses saw children covered in blood running from the attack.
Rumours and speculation quickly circulated on social media as police investigated the horrific incident.
