British Conservative politician Sir David Amess dead after being stabbed while meeting constituents

[Gun Bans Kill!]

A Conservative Party minister in the U.K. has died after being
stabbed during a meeting with his constituents at a church,
according to police.

David Amess, 69, was speaking at a Methodist Church Friday when
a man entered and stabbed him. Police arrived after 12:05 p.m.
local times and arrested a man for the stabbing.

"We are not looking for anyone else in connection with the
incident and do not believe there is an ongoing threat to the
wider public," Essex police said in a statement, adding that
officers had recovered a knife.

Police confirmed around 3 p.m. local time that "a man has died."
The arrest has now been upgraded to "on suspicion of murder."

Amess’ office had previously confirmed to Reuters that he had
been stabbed but provided no other details. John Lamb, a fellow
conservative councilor, said he was still at the church and
police were only letting paramedics in.

An air ambulance flew in so that Amess could receive treatment
at the scene for his injuries.

A spokesman for his Westminster office told Sky News, "The
incident has happened."

and deeply shocking."

I see that Britain's anti-gun craziness has worked so well in
reducing/eliminating violence. Truly an enlightening example
of how easy it is to find/make dangerous items. Like knives,
screwdrivers, clubs, machetes, etc. I thought they had "laws"
to stop all that violence. Never could understand the concept
that making something illegal would stop it from happening. I
know that some people make weapons by putting a rock into a sock
and using it as a club/weapon. When do they outlaw socks and
rocks over there?
