She's in a critical condition and may not pull through.

It's nothing like the Jill Dando case. On what has been reported so far Jo Cox wasn't a target, she bravely tried to break up a scuffle.

[ladybirder]

No but I believe there will be one shortly (Sky News), by the Police I think.

[NoMercy]

A shocking and unprovoked attack on a public figure which has shocked the nation.

Not going to argue with you, though. Have a nice day.

Some unpleasant terms being used out there re Tommy Mair by locals - I shan't repeat them for obvious reasons.


Do hope she recovers.

According to the Mail, Jo's husband Brendan tweeted a photo of her after the incident.
"Hang on a sec, my wife's been shot and is critically ill; I'll just tweet a photo of her."
What a sad world we live in!

[hc4361]

Even his address is in the media now, as well as a photo taken of him a couple of years ago. Now the police will have to protect his house

[ladybirder]

Terrible. RIP Jo.

Just listening to the announcement- I'm lost for words. I feel so sad for her and her family and for Birstall people (I know it reasonably well). :(

[ummmm]

What media, HC, is it on twitter?

[Mamyalynne]

Tragic - RIP Jo and heartfelt sympathy to family.
