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.

I’m serious.
What sort of psycopath is he?
Her poor children.
Carnahan funerally
England certainly has a lot of fairies, but they also have a higher violent crime rate than the U.S. and have for a long time.
Denial is rampant in Jolly Olde.
Why the obvious political advertisement, even IF one is involved in politics or Hollywood?
Facebook alive with How can this happen in England?? narrative. Youd think it was the land of daisies and fairies.
HA! But it IS sorta "the land of daisies and fairies," ain't it? ;-)
Dunno how they can be so shocked ( How can this happen in England??) Didn't that Moose-limb decapitate the Bobbie in broad daylight as immediate witnesses were relatively unmoved? The cognitive dissonance is strong over there.
Denial is rampant in Jolly Olde.
I guess when their gubmint took away their guns AND knives IN A SEA OF RABID JIHADISTS, many rationalized that all was still well to retain their sanity.
The Brexit vote will tell the world (and themselves) if they've regained it.
Did They sacrifice her for the sympathy vote?
Since firearms, especially HANDGUNS, are BANNED in Britain, then this crime could NOT occur. Thus, she is still legally ALIVE.
Scary part — that chart reflecting a fairly dramatic increase crime over a one year period (2004-2005) was a decade ago. That was BEFORE enduring a tsunami of Muzzies (250k per year, the number you’ve often cited) and a decade’s worth of unfetter millions of illegal invaders through Me-hee-co.
Unfortunately, our resident Pollyanna on all things Brit, the scotsman, left either under a cloud or more likely a temper tantrum spurred on by one more post about Mohammed being the most popular name in GB, can’t tell us not to believe our lying eyes.
Ouch!
But I thought of that, too...
Shame they no longer have the death penalty in the UK.
THAT guy parlayed his "grief" and public gun control zeal into hos own 15+ minutes as well being rewarded with a spin in a space capsule as an "astronaut."
Mr. MP's payoff for his Stepford Husband PR BS will come later.
The guy’s obviously crackers.
It’s ‘odd’ that after over 5 decades of being a mentally deficient, yet gentle, non politically involved local he finds a gun and shoots an up and coming political wonk while shouting an ‘inflammatory’ politcal slogan. Mere days before an important vote.
‘Odd’, that.
Not sure what killing him would solve. Saving money on housing him for another 20+ years?
And when I posted ‘psycopath’ in comment 81, I was talking about the dead woman’s husband.
Read a few comments above and below that comment for context.
Drew the short straw, eh?
Wouldn't surprise me. The Globalist Syndicate is vicious.
"By any means necessary."
Yup.
He’s aiming for the vote to be ‘Remain’ and to be rewarded with some high paying, non strenuous sinecure in Brussels.
Well, I’m learning that. One horrible look at Obama’s last 6 month agenda - and the complicity by Congress - has convinced me we are on the a Islamic Globalist Syndicate that will one day rival the Russian Revolution!
Yep! Never let an assassination go to waste.
Both sides (for and against exit) of the Brexit Campaign suspended campaigning for today. There is talk of canceling the Brexit election, for now, because of this.
Golly gee, they done need them some of that there gun control I been hearing about on the teevee! Oh yeah...they done got some...it don’t work too good, does it?
