Emily Spurrell, Merseyside's Police and Crime Commissioner, says she is "utterly shocked and devastated" by the incident in Southport.
"I cannot even imagine the untold pain and heartache they are facing. My thoughts are also with all those who suffered injuries and who have been affected by this harrowing incident," she says in a statement.
The attack on "innocent, defenceless children" at a dance school Taylor Swift-themed event during their summer holidays is "unthinkable and absolutely abhorrent", Spurrell adds.
"These young people had their whole lives ahead of them and it is hard to find the words to convey our deep sadness.
"Our region will be heartbroken that more young lives have been lost at the hands of violence and more have suffered serious injuries, and I share local people's deep concern and anguish," she says.

Absolutely disgusting. This is what happens when you welcome illegal immigrants into your country. Police on the ground spoke to Anti Terrorism officers, and are not treating it as terror related, at this time.
People on the ground report it's an17 year old 'asylum seeker, and self proclaimed Islamist'
This attack, and others are a direct result of UK government deporting hate preacher Anjem Choudry.
