21st Century Wire says…
A shocking attack in broad daylight in front of many witnesses.
MP Jo Cox of the British Labour Party has been shot and stabbed at an advice meeting in West Yorkshire, England.
The incident happened in the town of Birstall, near the city of Leeds.
Eyewitnesses have suggested the shooter was an older man, perhaps in his 60s or 70s.
Cox has been taken into hosptial but the condition of the 41 year old Labour MP for Batley and Spen is not known at this time.
RT reports that, she has been head of policy for Oxfam, national chair of the Labour Women’s Network, a senior advisor to the Freedom Fund, an anti-slavery charity, and is currently Chair of the Friends of Syria All-Party Parliamentary Group.
The attacker is thought to still be at large.
It could be possible that they had a very specific grievance with this MP, as nobody else at the advice meeting was attacked.
However, with the current climate of terror in the West it may be part of a larger plot.
Either way, this is sure to change security arrangements for Britain’s elected officials.
What do you think is the cause of this incident?
