Labor MP Jo Cox Killed Outside Constituent Event

Labor MP Jo Cox, a longtime advocate of women’s mortality issues and former adviser to Sarah Brown’s Maternal Mortality Campaign, was killed in an apparently politically charged attack outside of a constituent event this morning. Before the attack, Cox gave an impassioned plea this morning to aid Syrian refugees at a small event in a West Yorkshire library. She was flown to Leeds General Infirmary where died from her wounds. She is the mother of two children.
