    A knife-wielding attacker has injured eleven children – two of them fatally – and two adults at a Taylor Swift-themed yoga event in the town of Southport in northwestern England.
    Merseyside Police were called to Hart Street in the town of 95,000 just before noon on Monday, and said they detained a man armed with a knife.
    Police identified the suspect as “a 17-year-old male” from the nearby community of Banks and said the incident is “not currently being treated as terror-related.”
    Channel 3 named the suspect as Ali-Al-Shakati, an asylum-seeker who arrived in the UK by boat last year. He was reportedly “on the MI6 watch list and known to Liverpool mental health services.”
    Two of the stabbed children died, Merseyside Police Chief Constable Serena Kennedy said on Monday evening. Of the nine that were injured, six were still in critical condition, as were the two adults wounded while attempting to confront the attacker.
