British Lawmaker Dead After Attack

Jo Cox, a member of the British parliament, has died after she was shot and stabbed during an attack in her constituency, the BBC reports.

New York Times: “The campaigns representing the two sides in next week’s European Union referendum — Britain Stronger in Europe, which favors remaining in the European Union, and Vote Leave, which advocates departure from the 28-nation bloc — suspended their campaigning for the day, out of respect for Ms. Cox.”
