A 9-year-old girl wounded in a stabbing attack at a Taylor Swift-themed dance and yoga class in northwestern England died Tuesday, bringing the death toll to three, as police questioned a 17-year-old suspect arrested minutes after the rampage.
Police said the other fatalities were girls aged 6 and 7. Eight children and two adults remain hospitalized after the attack in Southport. Both adults and five of the children are in critical condition.
The suspect was arrested soon after on suspicion of murder and attempted murder. Police said he was born in Cardiff, Wales, and had lived for years in a village about 3 miles from Southport.
Witnesses described scenes from a horror movie as bloodied children ran from the attack just before noon on Monday. Police said detectives are not treating Monday's attack as terror-related and they are not looking for any other suspects.
