A Labour MP has died after she was shot three times and repeatedly stabbed in a shocking attack as she arrived at her constituency surgery. Mother-of-two Jo Cox, 41, was airlifted to hospital after a gunman opened fire on her in Birstall near Leeds.
Witnesses said the man was at the office before she arrived and shot her three times, once in the head, before stabbing her as she lay on the ground. Her husband Brendan tweeted a photo of his wife two hours after she died from catastrophic injuries. He later urged people to 'fight against the hatred that killed her.' In a statement, he said: 'Today is the beginning of a new chapter in our lives. More difficult, more painful, less joyful, less full of love. I and Jo's friends and family are going to work every moment of our lives to love and nurture our kids and to fight against the hate that killed Jo. 'Jo believed in a better world and she fought for it every day of her life with an energy, and a zest for life that would exhaust most people.
'She would have wanted two things above all else to happen now, one that our precious children are bathed in love and two, that we all unite to fight against the hatred that killed her. Hate doesn't have a creed, race or religion, it is poisonous.
'Jo would have no regrets about her life, she lived every day of it to the full.' A 53-year-old - named locally as 'loner' Tommy Mair - has been arrested by police and his house is currently being searched by forensic experts.

TOTAL coincidence.
Totally.
As another poster surmised. It’s odd that they’d use the same script each time but bureaucracies aren’t known for innovation...
They will now have to go barefoot, so their feet will be less deadly...
Yeah, those raping and pillaging unaccompanied children.
I guaren-damn-tee they will be pushing more gun control. Even though they are only slightly less restrictive than Russia, now.
Member of Parliament.
I guess that’s opposed to “MOP”.
Jumping to conclusions on Free Republic? Surely not! < /sarc>
Apparently you have not looked at videos of these "unaccompanied children".
Thousands after thousands of military-aged men marching through Europe like invading savage hordes.
Cant be, I thought no one in Britain can have a gun..or a knife
No, this time the culprit really is a nut job.
This guy was a wack job with a history of mental problems - how is this an “act of hatred”. This has become the pet term for the left. Anything something doesn’t go their way it’s because of “hate” and if anyone doesn’t agree with them it must be because of hatred.
First thing I thought too. Seems kinda of weird, sorry..
His statement seemed odd as well.
I’ll bet this news gave Ovomit more than a few seconds “pause” today.
Whatever you think of her political positions, the murder of people’s elected represented is a dangerous development. In Mexico, it happens frequently. I hope that Britain doesn’t go the same direction.
MP Hubby:
'She would have wanted...that we all unite to fight against the HATRED that killed her."
Wait a minute -- "HATE" killed his wife? Isn't the the same baloney we've all just heard in Orlando?
Hubby continues:
HATE doesn't have a creed, race or religion."
Odd political statement from a bereaved husband of a recent murder, isn't it?
The so-called "religion" of Islam and its Koran disrespectfully disagree in both word and deed.
Her hubby had the ‘presence of mind’ to tweet that sentiment and her picture less than 2 HOURS after the incident.
MOST people would still be in shock at the event and the death of their spouse.
What sort of psycopath is the husband?
Spooky comments. It’s amazing how unbereaved bereaved spouses of politicians and celebrities generally are.
Facebook alive with “How can this happen in England??” narrative. You’d think it was the land of daisies and fairies.
Hey, he’s getting his 15 minutes of fame - who are you to try and stop it?
