Children Sheltered in Warehouse as Body Shield Used
Severe Stab Wounds to Neck, Back, and Arm... Currently Regained Consciousness

It has been revealed that a dance instructor present at the scene of a stabbing rampage in the UK, where three children died, protected the children by shielding them, preventing a greater tragedy.

According to the British daily The Times on the 31st (local time), Lee Ann Lucas (35), an instructor conducting a dance class in Southport on the 29th of last month, evacuated two girls to a storage room when a man armed with a knife entered and began attacking people during the class.

As the man approached the storage room, Lucas threw her body over the children to block him, sustaining multiple serious stab wounds to her back, arm, and neck in the process. Both children protected by Lucas survived.

Lucas's cousin, Chris Reamer (41), told the media that Lucas raised her arms to protect the children at the time, resulting in numerous cuts on her arms. He said, "Lucas does not clearly remember the events that occurred at that time," and "She was worried about the other victims and had difficulty speaking."

Lucas has regained consciousness after undergoing surgery. On that day, three children aged 6 to 9, who were attending yoga and dance classes during summer vacation, died due to the stabbing rampage, and a total of 10 people were injured, including Lucas, one adult male who operated a business next to the dance studio, and eight children.

Local police arrested a 17-year-old male suspect and charged him with murder, attempted murder, and possession of a weapon. The police stated that the suspect was born in Cardiff, Wales, and had been living in the nearby village of Banks near Southport, but did not disclose any other information such as religion.
