All the children who were wounded in the deadly stabbing at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class in the UK have been released from the hospital, officials said.
The last remaining little survivor was discharged Thursday from Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital, where she spent eight days since the knife-wielding madman carried out the slashing on July 29.
The attack claimed the lives of Bebe King, 6; Elsie Dot Stancombe, 7; and Alice Dasilva Aguiar, 9.
All eight children who were injured in the stabbing have been released from the hospital.
“This has been an incredibly difficult time for our nation, especially for the families affected by these tragic events. We appreciate the continued support and compassion from everyone during this challenging period,” her family said in a statement, shared on social media by the Merseyside Police.
“While we are relieved that our daughter is on the path to recovery, our hearts go out to the families of Bebe, Alice and Elsie during this immensely painful time. Thank you.”
The young girl, who was not identified, is one of eight children who escaped the unprovoked bloodbath with injuries.
The condition of two adults, who were listed in critical condition in the wake of the tragedy, is unclear.
Alice Dasilva Aguiar, Elsie Dot Stancombe and Bebe King were killed at the Taylor Swift-themed dance party.
Police said that 17-year-old Axel Rudakubana stormed into the Hart Space while it was hosting a Taylor Swift-themed dance and yoga workshop for kids between the ages of 6 and 11.
There is no known motive for why the Wales native targeted the children with a kitchen knife that had a curved blade.
Two little girls died at the scene, while a third was pronounced dead at the hospital on Tuesday.
Two adults were also injured in the attack. Their conditions are unknown.
The two injured adults — both of whom remain in the hospital — were Leanne Lucas, 35, who was leading the dance class, and John Hayes, who worked next door and ran to protect the kids after hearing screams.
The brutal attack spurred riots across the UK that were ignited by online rumors falsely identifying a Muslim man as the attacker.
Members of a far-right group retaliated by hurling bricks and bottles at police officers, setting garbage bins and vehicles on fire and looting local stores.
Axel Rudakubana’s motive for carrying out the attack is not yet known
Family of the last little survivor to leave the hospital expressed their despair at such treatment of the police, who they said played an important role in getting their loved one life-saving care.
“We were deeply saddened by the recent disorder and the attacks on our police force. It is important to highlight that when the horrific events unfolded, our police officers were the first on the scene,” they wrote.
“We are immensely grateful to the officers who stood by our daughter’s side, providing assistance and support until she was safely transported to the hospital.”
