At least five people, including two children, have died and another critically injured after a knife attack at a flat in St Helier At least five people, including two children, have died and another is in a critical condition after a knife attack at a flat in St Helier, Jersey. A 30-year-old man was in police custody at Jersey general hospital where he is also recovering from surgery following the incident at around 3pm in a residential area close to the town centre. A sixth person was in a critical condition and undergoing surgery at Jersey hospital, which was closed for a period of time, with visitors being turned away from the wards. States of Jersey Police said that officers were called to a flat at Victoria Crescent, Upper Midvale Road, St Helier, just after 3pm following reports of a multiple stabbing. The immediate area around where the incident occurred was sealed off while a major incident room was set up at police headquarters in St Helier. An eyewitness, Andre Thorpe, said he believed all the victims were members of the same family, and that two ambulances arrived at the scene, which was within a mile of the ambulance station. “Then four or five police vehicles came” he said. “They were trying to access a private house in the crescent. It was an old Victorian terrace, a lot of them are split into flats.” “I saw police come running out with a child, it was a small child, I just saw the legs. They went off in an ambulance. When the paramedic came back her shirt was covered in blood.” He added that the area where the incident happened was quite secluded and not on a main road. The head of crime services, Stewart Gull, who is leading the police investigation, said: “Clearly this complex investigation is in its very early stages as we try to establish exactly what happened. “We are appealing to anyone who may have any information to contact us. “We are mindful, too, of the impact of any such serious and tragic incident on the local community, and we have police officers in the area to support the investigation and local people.” Police urged anyone with information to contact them on 01534 612612.

In 2004, Bachmann told the National Education Leadership Conference that homosexuality was “part of Satan.” “If you’re involved in the gay and lesbian lifestyle, it’s bondage,” she declared. “Personal bondage, personal despair and personal enslavement. And that’s why this is so dangerous.” “We need to have profound compassion for the people who are dealing with the very real issue of sexual dysfunction in their life, and sexual identity disorders. This is a very real issue. It’s not funny, it’s sad.” “That is the view President Bachmann would have of gay Americans?” NBC’s David Gregory asked Bachmann Sunday. “Well, I’m running for the presidency of the United States,” Bachmann replied. “I’m not running to be anyone’s judge.” “But you do judge them,” Gregory noted. “I don’t judge them,” Bachmann disagreed. “I am running for presidency of the United States.” “Congresswoman, do you think that anyone hears that and thinks you haven’t made a judgement about gays and lesbians?” Gregory wondered. “That’s all I can tell you. I am not judging,” Bachmann insisted. The candidate added that she would be willing to appoint a gay cabinet member if they shared her views.
