NBC News: “British lawmaker David Amess was stabbed to death Friday while holding regular meetings with constituents, his office and fellow lawmakers said. Amess, 69, was attacked at a Methodist church in Leigh-on-Sea, a coastal town east of London, according to his office.
“Essex Police said they have arrested a man and recovered a knife. The incident carried echoes of 2016 when Britain was rocked by the murder of Labour lawmaker Jo Cox by a far-right extremist. She was shot and stabbed in the street in Birstall, a village in north England, where she had been due to hold meetings with constituents.
“Photographs from the scene Friday showed police holding automatic rifles and wearing body armor guarding the door of the church, which was behind police tape. At least two police cars and two ambulances were at the scene.”
