Leanne Lucas and colleague Heidi Barlow, both 35, sprung into action Monday to try and protect the kids attending their Swift-themed yoga and dance event in Southport, just outside of Liverpool.
Two teachers have been praised for their heroism after locking children in a bathroom stall and rushing others out a fire exit during the deadly stabbing attack at a Taylor Swift-themed event in the UK — leaving one of them fighting for her life.
Leanne Lucas and colleague Heidi Barlow, both 35, sprang into action Monday to try to protect the kids attending their Swift-themed yoga and dance event in Southport, just outside Liverpool.
A knife-wielding teenager stormed the event, killing three young girls and injuring nine other kids and two adults.
Lucas had led some of the children, who were between the ages of 6 and 11, to safety through a fire escape while Barlow locked a group of kids inside a toilet stall to keep them safe, a man who lives near the yoga studio told the Sun.
“She was in the toilet, shut the door and locked it with one of the kids.
