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."
how can someone get a gun on an island with strong gun control laws?
Yes, how indeed???? If there is a law against something, clearly it cannot happen. That’s why you can’t buy heroin in the USA, or press your foot on the accelerator if you’re going 55 mph.
History may not repeat, but it sure does rhyme.
I hope Trump has his own security and that there are no laws against it.
There are 1.85 million guns legally owned by private citizens in Britain.
****The government at Washington has no authority to do either one****
I agree, but when has that ever stopped them?
Anna Lindh's killer, a 25-year old Swedish male, Mijailo Mijailovic (born to Serbian immigrant parents), was declared to be mentally disturbed and that he acted alone. He was finally sentenced to a closed psychiatric ward.
According to Wikipedia.org, 8-years later, Mijailovic broke silence and gave his first press conference about the killing in 2011. He expressed his apology and said he had absolutely nothing against Ms Lindh personally and that it was not in any way politically motivated.
Mijailovic's Wikipedia portal was created by a contributor named "Gavleson" who has also been responsible for submitting numerous Swedish government (Sweden Portal) articles. To name a few....more at the URL below.

"...Mijailovic broke silence in 2011 and gave his first press conference about the murder he committed in 2003."
I think there’s a lot to that. And Armitage’s comment about jumping sides to support Clinton enforces that perception - something like ‘Trump refuses to be educated on the issues’, educated presumably meaning coopted.
This British woman’s death is a tragedy to the family now without her. It’s unclear whether this had anything to do with the upcoming referendum. But if British really want to repudiate politically motivated killing they will vote to leave the EU and show that voting can still accomplish something contrary to the elites’ wishes, peacefully.
As to the racism of the Britain First group, (as opposed to the Leave campaign in general) it is completely and undeniably racist.
Racist as in “white people are superior and we want only white people in Britain”? Or racist as in anti-mozlem and anti-immigration from third world hellholes?
OKAY. Now you're clear. Bullshit for one thing, crap for another, and damned lie for yet another assessment.
You statements of “fact” are bullshit, horseshit, lies and dem/leftist/commiepuke crap talking points.
I think JR should be told and I think this babble on is a commiepuke troll and should get the hammer.
“opposed to the Leave campaign in general) it is completely and undeniably racist”
A word with no reproducible meaning.
