The initial statement from police reported a “serious incident”, which they have now upgraded to a possible “terrorist incident,” confirming that at least 22 people were killed and dozens more injured.
Footage from inside the concert showed the panic that ensued following the blast. Videos from outside showed an army of emergency vehicles making their way to the arena as a rasping of sirens filled the city.
