The Daily Mail reports:
Several people have been killed after two explosions inside Manchester Arena at the end of an Ariana Grande gig tonight. Video footage showed people fleeing in tears from the venue after bangs rang out immediately after the concert finished.
Bloodied concertgoers were pictured being helped by emergency services outside the gig and armed police were seen patrolling the arena. Evie Brewster, who attended the concert, told MailOnline: ‘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. 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.”
Grande is reportedly uninjured. Story developing….
