After learning that the children were taking a class dancing to her music, Taylor Swift posted to her Instagram story, “The horror of yesterday’s attack in Southport is washing over me continuously and I’m just completely in shock. The loss of life and innocence, and the horrendous trauma inflicted on everyone who was there, the families, and first responders. 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.”

A 17-year-old suspect was taken into custody minutes after the rampage. As of Tuesday morning, no charges have been officially brought, although police said they are not looking for other suspects.
