Police said the stabbings aren't currently being treated as terror-related, and a 17-year-old male has been arrested.
Two children were tragically killed and six others seriously injured following a horrific stabbing at Taylor Swift dance camp in Southport.
She said: “It had only just happened. I was opening the windows downstairs and a police car sped past. The lady was parked on the corner screaming ‘help me, help me’. Of course I ran over, she was covered in blood, the mum. Her daughter was slumped in the passenger seat. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!
