We are deeply shocked and saddened by the incident in Liverpool yesterday. Our thanks are with all those involved in the response.

We are here if you need support: buff.ly/ESz6ekd

Quote from Carmel O'Boyle reads: My thoughts are with everyone in my hometown of Liverpool and all those who were involved in the response to yesterday's horrifying incident. Only two weeks since our city welcomed us to Congress, the joy we felt there will be found again. Liverpool is a strong community and will stand together, as always.
