The English town of Southport was the scene of clashes between protesters and police the day after the death of at least three girls in a mass stabbing inflicted by an unnamed 17-year-old male.

At least one police van has been set ablaze by the crowds in Southport, which is north of Liverpool. A source describes the town as "quiet."

While plenty of conjecture has been offered online as to the identity of the attacker and his family, both the AP and the Sun report that the suspect was born in Cardiff, Wales.

Merseyside Police have overseen the investigation thus far. Alice Dasilva Aguiar, 9, Elsie Dot Stancombe, 7, and Bebe King, 6, are the identified victims. Ten more remain hospitalized since the attack.

"There has been much speculation and hypothesis around the status of a 17-year-old male who is currently in police custody and some individuals are using this to bring violence and disorder to our streets," Assistant Chief Constable Alex Goss with the Merseyside Police said to the Associated Press. 

"We have already said that the person arrested was born in the U.K. and speculation helps nobody at this time."

The Sun reported that the parents of the suspected attacker, born in 2006, moved to the United Kingdom from Rwanda.

A neighbor of the family described them to the Sun as Christians, "very normal," and having a "hard-working father and stay-at-home mother."

Reform U.K. leader Nigel Farage took to social media earlier today in a video statement, positing, "I just wonder whether the truth is being withheld from us. I don't know the answer to that, but I think it is a fair and legitimate question."

"What I do know is something is going horribly wrong in our once beautiful country."

It is unclear what punishments protesters may face. Police vans and garbage bins have been set ablaze in the melee.

Tennessee Titans star defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons didn’t care that a radio host was on-air after Tuesday’s training camp session — he spoke his mind to the host about his social media posts. 

Simmons, who was off-camera in the now-viral video, was heard shouting at 104.5 The Zone’s Buck Reising, who was trying to get Titans cornerback Roger McCreary on-air for an interview. 

At one point, Simmons was heard calling Reising a "p---y" during the heated exchange.

As Reising’s colleagues were trying to get McCreary set up with his headset for the interview, Reising’s attention moved quickly to Simmons, who started shouting his way. 

"We can talk whenever you want to talk," Reising said to Simmons, who wasn’t able to be heard after the live broadcast. However, he eventually came within microphone distance after Reising told him they were live on-air.

"I don’t care," Simmons replied. "You do a lot of talk on social media."

Reising gave Simmons the opportunity to talk it out on-air considering he was right at the table, but the defensive tackle refused. 

"Stop talking on social media, talk to me!" Simmons can be heard barking back. 

Being a leader in the Titans’ locker room, this exchange for Simmons isn’t the best look. 

Simmons was also seen in a training camp fight Tuesday, which was in part his instigation. Simmons was spotted swinging at rookie offensive lineman JC Latham, and Reising tweeted about it. 

"Simmons just swung at Latham after some pushing a shoving…refs said 98 would have been tossed in game. He’s back in for the next two and immediately starts a brawl. Sloppy. Simmons needs to lock tf in," Reising posted on X. 

New Titans head coach Brian Callahan had Simmons stay in practice despite refs saying he would’ve been tossed in a regular-season game. 

Simmons is among the highest-paid defensive tackles in the NFL after signing a $94 million extension that has him under Titans control until after the 2027 season. 

The 27-year-old totaled 5.5 sacks, 44 combined tackles (10 for loss) and one forced fumble over 12 games last season.
