Open thread: Manchester attack
British families were left desperately hoping for word of their children's safety following a suspected terror attack outside the Ariana Grande pop concert at the Manchester Arena Monday night.
An explosion rocked the venue as the singer was finishing her set, killing at least 19 people and injuring almost 60 others.
Manchester's top police officer confirmed that police were treating as a "terrorist incident." Sources tell CNN a man at the scene has been identified as a likely suicide bomber.
If confirmed as a terror incident, it would be the deadliest attack on British soil since the 2005 London bombings, which killed 52 people.
More details will be added as the news come in.
Our thoughts are with the families of those who perished.
