A teenage boy with a knife attacked a children's dance and yoga class in northwest England overnight, killing two children and wounding 11 other people in a "ferocious" rampage that sent bloodied children running into a street to escape the horror, police and witnesses said. Nine children were wounded, six of them in critical condition. "We believe the adults who were injured were bravely trying to protect the children who were being attacked," Police Chief Constable Serena Kennedy said. A witness described seeing bloodied children running from the class that was held for children aged about 6 to 11 on the first day of summer school vacation. An advertisement for the event promised "a morning of Taylor Swift-themed yoga, dance and bracelet making".
