There was a fatality mass sword attack in London. I wondered if there were a lot of sword attacks in Texas. Yes there were 3 in 2023.

In London this sword attack murdered one 14 year old teen and wounded 4 others.

Most likely unarmed Police in typical British fashion tase the sword master into submission.

That was interesting to see the British police in action. Couple of the officers did a good job with the tasers. Most of them didn't look very serious. They seemed a bit slow to pick up the sword.

When seconds count, help is a long ways away:
Rowley said officers arrived on the scene 12 minutes after receiving the first call and the suspect was detained 10 minutes later, Rowley said.
I didn't see any officers getting injured in the video. As the comments say a 12 gauge would have worked a lot better than tasers. The British police are probably fortunate that the murderer didn't really know how to use one of those swords. I've seen demonstrations by those who train extensively with Japanese swords and within arms reach they are faster and deadlier than any firearm.
