A British politician was stabbed to death Friday by a man who stormed into a church where the MP was meeting constituents — with police not ruling out terrorism.

David Amess, a lawmaker in British Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s Conservative Party, was killed by a man who was arrested as armed police swooped into the church in Essex around midday, officials said.

“He was stabbed several times,” John Lamb, a local councilor at the scene, told Reuters of the 69-year-old member of Parliament.
