22 killed, 59 injured in blast at concert in Manchester

At least 22 people are dead and dozens more injured in a suspected terrorist incident at the end of a concert by US singer Ariana Grande in the English city of Manchester, according to Greater Manchester Police. 
 There were children among the 22 people killed in the attack, and 59 more were injured, Greater Manchester Police chief Ian Hopkins said early on Tuesday.
 

British Prime Minister Theresa May said the incident that took place on Monday night was being treated as a terrorist attack.
 The explosion rocked the place when concertgoers were beginning to leave the arena, which has the capacity to hold 21,000 people, after Grande's closing set, shortly after 10:35 pm (2135 GMT) at the arena. Several children were also attending the event.

"We were making our way out and when we were right by the door there was a massive explosion and everybody was screaming," a witness said. "It was a huge explosion - you could feel it in your chest. It was chaotic. Everybody was running and screaming and just trying to get out of the area."
 
Emergency services were also found to be heading to the area. The police have confirmed fatalities without giving further details.
