Labor MP Jo Cox 'critical' after being shot and stabbed in West Yorkshire
Labor MP Jo Cox has been shot and stabbed at her advice surgery in West Yorkshire, her office has confirmed. Reports say a 52 year old man has been arrested.
Cox was shot in Birstall near the northern city of Leeds and has been airlifted to Leeds General Infirmary in a critical condition.
Various eyewitness accounts suggest the MP was shot during a row with a man with a gun.
Some eye witnesses report the attacker may have targeted Cox deliberately, and shot her up to three times, as well as beating her while she was on the ground.
Another man reportedly intervened to help her.
Suggesting a possible motive, another eyewitness said the suspected attacker shouted ‘Britain First’ – the name of a far-right political group.
