20 Reported DEAD. NAIL BOMB Rocks Ariana Grande Concert

UPDATE: Police are now treating this as an active terrorist investigation. Reports are stating that a nail bomb was exploded in the box office of the concert venue. 

Several concert goers have been killed at a concert for Ariana Grande, the concert was held in a Manchester Arena. The concert goers were killed by what is now being reported as a nail bomb. Video footage has been leaking out about the event and show people fleeing in tears from the venue after bangs rang out immediately after the concert finished. Evie Brewster who had attended the concert had this to say

“Ariana Grange had just finished her last song and left the stage when a huge explosion sounded. Suddenly everybody started screaming and running for the exit.”

She went on to say

“’We could hear the police and ambulance sirens. It was terrifying. There were thousands of people trying to get out at once. They were all screaming and crying. The whole place smelt smokey and burnt. The explosion sounded like it was inside the building somewhere.”
The scene outside the area was a chaotic one with armed police and emergency services patrolling the era

Jonathan Yates who also attended the concert said

“The concert had finished and the lights came on almost instantly. There was a bang, a weird bang. There were lots of balloons but I thought to myself that can’t be a balloon, that’s not normal. We were sat on the floor level and it came from the higher seats, people were running and screaming. Everyone stopped and I turned to my friend and said, ‘we need to run’. Everyone was running and screaming and then when we got out it felt a bit more OK. I heard five or six bangs that sounded like gunshots. When we got outside people were outside, crying and on their phones. You don’t think it’s something that’s going to happen when you go…it was such a nice, fun concert.”

Another witness Jenny Brewster told The DailyMailOnline:

“We were exiting the building when it happened. We’d headed towards the main doors as Ariana was performing the last song because we wanted to beat the crowds, but – as we made our way there – a wall of security men blocked it and told us to go the other way. Seconds later they shouted “RUN!” and the explosion happened right behind them. Hundreds of people were running and screaming. Those men saved our lives.”

A spokesman for Greater Manchester Police said: “Emergency services responding to serious incident at Manchester Arena. Avoid the area. More details will follow as soon as available.”
