Police said they were responding to reports of an explosion and that there were a number of confirmed casualties and others injured.
MANCHESTER, England -British police said that at least 19 people were killed and 50 others injured in a blast at a music venue in the northern English city of Manchester, and said that they were treating it as a “terrorist incident”.
“So far 19 people have been confirmed dead, with around 50 others injured. This is currently being treated as a terrorist incident until police know otherwise,” Greater Manchester Police said in a tweet.
A witness who attended the concert said she felt a huge blast as she was leaving the arena, followed by screaming and a rush as thousands of people trying to escape.
“We were making our way out and when we were right by the door there was a massive explosion and everybody was screaming,” concert-goer Catherine Macfarlane told Reuters.
