Susanna Reid struggled to contain her emotions on Wednesday's GMB as she spoke about the tragic stabbing incident in Nottingham. Three people, including 19-year-old students Grace Kumar and Barnaby Webber, were killed in the early morning attack on Tuesday. A third victim, a 51-year-old man, was found dead on a nearby road and three more people are in hospital after someone tried to run them over in a van in Milton Street.
As a mother of three teenage boys, including one who is the same age as the victims, Susanna couldn't help but be overwhelmed with emotion. She said, "As a mum of three boys in their teens, I can only imagine the horror of the parents of Barnaby and Grace. You send them off so proud that they're beginning their first independent part of their lives. They're making their way but they're still under your protection until that moment the door of the student halls of residence closes and pretty much every parent has a tear in their eye as they drive away, dropping them off. You just can't imagine what those families are going through. Well, actually, you do know what those families are going through."
Kevin Maguire, a regular contributor to GMB, commented on Susanna's emotional response, saying, "I can hear it in your voice."
Nottinghamshire Police are still in the "early stages" of the investigation, trying to determine the motive for the attack. Chief Constable Meynell said, “We are keeping an open mind and are working closely with counter-terrorism policing to establish the facts as we would normally do in this type of circumstance.”
The families of the victims have been informed and are being supported by specially-trained officers. A vigil was held in Nottingham to remember the victims and to honor their lives.
