Update: 52-year-old man arrested after Labour MP Jo Cox was shot in street outside her constituency surgery has been named as Tommy Mair. A brief public data history search reveals that Mair had psychological problems:
Thomas Mair, 46, started volunteering at the park after learning about the opportunity through the Mirfield-based Pathways Day Centre for adults with mental health problems. He said: "I can honestly say it has done me more good than all the psychotherapy and medication in the world. "Many people who suffer from mental illness are socially isolated and disconnected from society, feelings of worthlessness are also common mainly caused by long-term unemployment.
"All these problems are alleviated by doing voluntary work. Getting out of the house and meeting new people is a good thing, but more important in my view is doing physically demanding and useful labour.
"When you have finished there is a feeling of achievement which is emotionally rewarding and psychologically fulfilling.
"For people for whom full-time, paid employment is not possible for a variety of reasons, voluntary work offers a socially positive and therapeutic alternative."

Update: Responding to unconfirmed allegations the shooter shouted "Britain First!" before the incident, the group Britain First has said:
A single eyewitness also claimed (unconfirmed) that the assailant “apparently” shouted “Britain First” during the attack, but this is pure hearsay at the moment.

There is LOTS of use of words such as “apparently” and “allegedly”.
That hasn’t stopped the media publishing multiple articles condemning Britain First for somehow being involved.
Britain First obviously is NOT involved and would never encourage behaviour of this sort.
As an MP and and a mother, we pray that Jo Cox makes a full recovery.

Update: As BBG adds, campaigning was suspended in Britain’s European Union membership referendum after news of the attack, which happened just before 1 p.m., came out.

Update: Here is a photo of Jo Cox' assailant getting arrested. As SkyNews adds, "West Yorkshire Police said a 52-year-old man was arrested in connection with the attack, which happened near the town's library. Witness Hichem Ben Abdallah said a man "was kicking her as she was lying on the floor." He said that after a bystander intervened, the attacker produced a gun, stepped back and shot her twice."
False flag?
Stupid. Why suspend when it was some nut?
Why is our side always so freakin’ wimpy?
Exit and be the masters of your own destiny.
Just reported on Fox that she has died
Fox Business is reporting that the MP has died of her wounds.
Bet the funeral is going to be the British version of the “Wellstone Funeral”
this was a setup. to go after the brexit side.
How can this be? No one can own a gun in England.
Wouldn’t surprise me.
Never let a crises go to waste...
Very sad news.
This was an extremely vicious and hateful attack, and the details are chilling.
Yup.
False Flag.
Polling had the euro elites scared. They had to so something. Eggs had to be broken and all that.
The Brits found their Adam Lanza.
They’re like the globalist rulers in U.S., anything to stop the opposition.
Yea, they got desperate and activated one of their controlled goons.
You mean the actor?
[ Polling had the euro elites scared. They had to so something. Eggs had to be broken and all that. ]
Also a great way to now manipulate the vote through fraud, since they can blame the switch to “remain” on the MPs death.
Reports are this guy was ON the Brexit side!!! However I feel this was a set up from the other side Brexit was winning WHY would someone on that side do something that could possible make it fail!!!!
