LeBron James Sends Prayers After Deadly Vehicle Attack at Liverpool’s Premier League Parade
NBA star LeBron James expressed his shock and sympathy following a tragic incident during Liverpool’s Premier League trophy parade on Monday evening. The event, meant to celebrate the team’s victory, turned into chaos when a vehicle rammed into the crowd in Walter Street, Liverpool, injuring 47 people, including children. LeBron, who is a minor partner in Fenway Sports Group, which owns Liverpool FC, took to X (formerly Twitter), sharing his deep concern: “OMG!!!! WTH. My deepest thoughts and prayers goes out to everyone affected that attended @LFC Premiere League trophy parade today! Such a senseless act!”
The 53-year-old man believed to be driving the vehicle was arrested at the scene, but authorities have stated that the incident is not being treated as an act of terrorism. Liverpool FC expressed solidarity with the victims, working closely with local authorities and emergency services. Prime Minister Keir Starmer condemned the attack, emphasizing that such incidents should never overshadow moments of celebration, especially for children.
Liverpool’s history of overcoming tragedy, particularly after the Hillsborough disaster in 1989 that claimed 96 lives, has made the city resilient. Now, the nation stands united with Liverpool in this difficult time.
