Two heroic teachers are fighting for their lives after being stabbed while trying to save kids at a Taylor Swift-themed party over in the UK.
Leanne Lucas sprang into action, getting kids to safety through a fire escape … while her colleague Heidi Barlow locked others in a bathroom stall to protect them from the knife-wielding maniac who went on a rampage at the yoga and dance event in Southport Monday.
Both women are now critical condition — with Leanne’s aunt, Pauline Bennett, saying she’s waiting to undergo surgery. She added all Leanne wanted to do was protect the kids, but given her small frame … she didn’t stand a chance against the knifeman.
Leanne’s family is just hoping and praying she pulls through after surgery … while Heidi’s exact condition is currently unclear.
As we reported, Merseyside Police Chief Constable Serena Kennedy confirmed 2 children died in the attack, and a third was confirmed dead Tuesday morning.

No motive yet for the attack just yet … but 20 minutes before the horror unfolded, the suspect was seen pacing back and forth outside a home — which was raided by armed-police 2 hours later. A suspect, who’s only 17, has been apprehended and questioned by police.
The news has been so shocking that Taylor Swift herself said she’s completely stunned by the attack … and even members of the Royal family have spoken out about the terror.
