LONDON: Three young girls killed in a stabbing rampage at a dance class on the first day of summer vacation were mourned on Tuesday as hundreds held a vigil in northwest England to support their families and 10 wounded survivors.
A day earlier, the girls had taken part in a Taylor Swift-themed dance and yoga workshop when a person armed with a knife entered the studio and began a vicious attack, police said.
"It’s difficult to comprehend or put into words the horror of what happened,” Home Secretary Yvette Cooper said while briefing members of Parliament. "What should have been a joyful start to the summer turned into an unspeakable tragedy.”
Alice Dasilva Aguiar, 9, Elsie Dot Stancombe, 7, and Bebe King, 6, died from their injuries, police said.
