Manchester Arena Incident

Appalling news to wake up to. Thoughts are with the victims, their families and the rescue services who have to deal with this tragedy.

Tragic.

Just hearing it might have been a suicide bomber.

Ginny it was an Ariana Grande concert, do lots of children were there. Children under 14 were supposed to be accompanied, but it sounds like many were not.

ITV news saying police treating it as a terrorist attack at this stage.

I was puzzled by how many children were there.

Was just checking the news before turning in and couldn't believe the breaking news. It makes other news I've been obsessing about for days seem very unimportant indeed. Such a tragic loss of life on what should have been a fun evening out.

Police confirmed the first incident took place outside the venue near the foyer.

A lot of people saying too many children were unaccompanied.

Dreadful.

The police are about to carry out a controlled explosion on a suspect package.

We come from the Greater Manchester area, have lots of relatives there, just hope none of them were at the concert.

Yes, a girl on R5 said there were two explosions.

It`s terrible, they say 19 dead and over 50 injured.
