| British Labour Mp Jo Cox Dead: Fatally Stabbed And Gunned Down Outside Birstall Library |
| 2016-06-16 |
| On a hunch, I'm going to speculatively file this under WoT ops for now. AoS at 1730: I've moved it to non-WoT. The killer is insane and not identified as a terrorist. Labour MP Jo Cox has been shot and killed in an attack in her constituency near Leeds today. The 41-year-old mother of two was shot three times and attacked with a knife during the incident in Birstall, West Yorkshire, an eyewitness said. Police have confirmed she has now died. A 77-year-old man was also left with slight injuries. West Yorkshire Police have arrested a 52-year-old man. Ms Cox was elected as MP for Spen and Batley in last year's general election, and was a rising star in the party. MPs from all parties have been voicing their shock and sending their prayers. |

| #16 Typical dirty politics. O uses Orlando as a tool to his gun control agenda. Remainders use is as an anti-Brexit tool. Come on down and mud wrestle in this big pond of sh*t!!! |

| #15 By cynical bastards I meant Remain or anybody who would use an incident like this for political purposes. |

| #13 Brexit has nothing to gain from this. If the Remain folks try to use this it opens them to a terrible suspicion...don't even want to think about it. |

| #10 The Mirror has a picture of the suspect. It's too big to post but he looks like a loser. |

| #7 I read that he built his own gun, which is pretty industrious for a 21st century Brit. |

| #6 Sounds like he's just a bit mad. I don't know if the Brexit issue set him off or if people are just guessing on that for lack of other motives (not a muslim for example). |

| #4 Considering the survival of the EU is pretty much at stake... and she was popular and for staying and the guy is supposedly against... am I too paranoid for saying the "Fors" took this as an opportunity for a political coup to force back public opinion for staying in the EU? |

| #3 On first investigative glance, the guy's name does not have a "Mohammed" in it, he's for the Brexit, and she was against it. |
