I was shocked to read of the attacks in Southport, UK. Three innocent lives taken, with eight more children and adults injured at a dance class celebrating the music of Taylor Swift. And the attacker's identity is being concealed because he is only 17! That's old enough to be tried as an adult here in the US! Name and shame!

In the meantime my heart goes out to all the families and the injured in this attack. This is the stuff of nightmares. Please know that people in the US cry for your losses. I'm saddened for the innocent lives damaged and lost. I'm crying for them, and the people affected, as well as my British friends.
