A British MP has died after being shot and stabbed in West Yorkshire on Thursday afternoon.
Jo Cox, Labour MP for Batley and Spen was fatally shot and stabbed while leaving her constituency surgery earlier today.
A 52-year-old man has been arrested in connection with the attack.
According to The Guardian, police are investigating claims that the suspect had shouted 'Britain First' before shooting, referencing the far-right nationalist group.
However in a statement, the West Yorkshire police chief said "we are not in a position to discuss any motive at this time."
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said in a tribute that, "Jo was dedicated to getting us to live up to our promises to support the developing world and strengthen human rights – and she brought those values and principles with her when she became an MP."
UK Prime Minister, David Cameron said on Twitter, "the death of Jo Cox is a tragedy. She was a committed and caring MP. My thoughts are with her husband Brendan and her two young children."
