19 Dead in 'Appalling Suicide Attack' After Ariana Grande U.K. Concert
At least 19 people were killed and about 50 others were injured in what British Prime Minister Theresa May called "an appalling suicide attack" after an Ariana Grande concert Monday night at Manchester Arena in England, authorities said.
Greater Manchester Police said the incident was being treated as terrorism. A senior White House official told NBC News that President Donald Trump, who is on a visit to Jerusalem, had been briefed.
"My thoughts are with the victims and the families of those affected in what is being treated by the police as an appalling terrorist attack," May said in a brief statement.
A representative for Ariana Grande said the singer was not hurt. Likewise, Bianca Landrau, the Boston hip-hop star known as Bia, who also performed, tweeted: "Guys we are okay!!!"
