Trigger warning: the following story contains descriptions of violence against children.

British authorities have charged an unnamed 17-year-old with murder in the mass stabbing rampage at a Taylor Swift-themed danced class in Southport, England on Monday that left three young girls dead and eight other children and two adults injured.

According to BBC News, the teenager — who cannot be named because of his age — was slated to make an initial appearance in Liverpool City Magistrates’ Court on Thursday (August 1) after also being charged with 10 counts of attempted murder and possession of a bladed article. Authorities named the three young girls killed in the incident: Bebe King, 6; Elsie Dot Stancombe, 7; and Alice Dasilva Aguiar, 9 and announced that seven of those injured in the attack are still believed to be in critical condition.

Swift, in the midst of a European run of shows on her Eras Tour, reacted in shock to the attack, posting a note on her Instagram Story on Tuesday morning in which she said, “The horror of yesterday’s attack in Southport is washing over me continuously, and I’m just completely in shock… The loss of life and innocence, and the horrendous trauma inflicted on everyone who was there, the families and first responders. These were just little kids at a dance class. I am at a complete loss for how to ever convey my sympathies to these families.”

Police have said that the 17-year-old suspect from Cardiff was arrested at the community center hosting the dance class and that a knife was seized following the attack in the seaside town in Northwest England near Liverpool. Witnesses described a terrifying scene in which bloodied children ran in terror from the center where the Swift-themed dance and yoga event for children 6-11 was taking place with the promise of “a morning of Taylor Swift-themed yoga, dance and bracelet making.”

According to BBC, when officers arrived on the scene Monday morning they found multiple people, many of them children, suffering from serious injuries following the “ferocious” attack. Police said a person armed with a knife walked into the building and attacked those inside, with two adults suffering critical injuries while bravely trying to protect the children from the alleged assailant.

On Tuesday, far-right protesters fueled by angry and false internet rumors threw bottles and stones at police, wounding 20 officers outside a Northwest England mosque near the spot where the three girls were killed. Prime Minister Keir Starmer condemned what he called “thuggery” and said the angry crowd hijacked what had been a peaceful vigil attended by hundreds in the center of Southport to mourn the dead and seriously wounded.

The violent crowd authorities believe had ties to the far-right group English Defence League, torched a police van and several cars following rumors about the identity of the teenage suspect. The rampage came after an emotional crowd gathered earlier in the evening in Southport outside The Atkinson theater and museum in to hold a minute of silence for the victims.

Mass casualty shootings and killings with firearms are exceptionally rare in Britain following a mass shooting at a primary school in Scotland in 1996 that killed 16 students and a teacher. Following that event, Parliament banned private ownership of most handguns and semi-automatic weapons and since then there have been no school shootings in the U.K., though attacks with blades remain a serious issue.

At press time Swift fans had set up a Swifties for Southport fundraiser for the families of victims that had raised more than $433,000 so far.
