As NBC reported, a six, seven and nine-year-old all died from the attack. Nine-year-old Alice Dasilva Aguiar died in the hospital following the fatal injuries.
Two other adults who tried to save the children are also in critical condition. Eight other children were stabbed, five of which are still in critical condition. Swift herself commented on the incident saying, “I’m just completely in shock,” according to USA TODAY. “These were just little kids at a dance class. I am at a complete loss for how to ever convey my sympathies to these families.”
This stabbing sparked outrage as protestors came out during a vigil held for the victims of the incident. It is believed that speculation around the suspect’s background and whether or not he was connected to Islam set the protests in motion.
As a community grieves the loss of children and more details come out about the suspect’s motives for this heinous act, keep the families of the victims in prayer. For those in critical condition, let’s pray for God to heal their bodies and bring them strength and renewal.
