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.

Such a sad story, and a mother to boot.
Obviously, Britain needs to ban guns and this kind of thing would never happen.
‘Tommy Mair.’ Recent convert?
I hope they arrest whoever it was that gave the gun to a known crazy person.
I’m curious... she was in Labor. Was she a BeLEAVER or a stay in the EU supporter?
Right?
They got the guy right after.
Initial reports have the killer shouting “Britain First”, but those have recently been discredited.
Getting a crazy person to do your dirty work is an old trick.
If only the Brits had gun laws.
And this right after much gloating over at The Guardian about American gun violence.
I was also amused to see that while The Daily Mail is allowing any comments regarding the violence in Orlando, they’re not allowing any comments on their own violence!
how the killer get a gun? May she provoked her murder? The killer is a victim
She was a supporter of the EU. Her husband and kids used a motorized rubber raft to sail against the Brexit flotilla just yesterday, according to the rather lengthy article.
Another killing by a mentally ill person.
Another mind control subject put to work. Just like Oswald and the rest of the “loner” political assassins. Pick someone with problems, use drugs and hypnosis to implant the compulsion to kill someone and then cover up the whole thing with ECT. MK-Ultra. Bet on it.
Thanks, I didn’t read to the bottom.

Yep.
Stay in the EU campaigner. There is even a post on FR today of her holding an “IN” flag on a boat that was sailing against a BREXIT flotilla.
If that is the case, I won't go so far as to applaud his action, but I will point out that I was expecting Brits to eventually get fed up and turn to violence.
