British Lawmaker David Amess Fatally Stabbed
--------------------------------------------

In the United Kingdom, a man fatally stabbed longtime British Member of
Parliament David Amess Saturday as he met with constituents at a church
east of London. The Metropolitan Police said they have arrested and
charged a suspect in the killing, which they described as a terrorist
incident. It was the first murder of a British MP since 2016, when
anti-Brexit politician Jo Cox was fatally shot and stabbed by a
far-right white supremacist.
