News broke today that 19 people were killed and 59 injured at an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester, England. Grande, who is from Florida in the United States, had just wrapped up her show and as audiences poured out of the Manchester Arena, a venue that holds 21,000 people, a loud explosion was heard. Some panic and began running from the venue. Others wrongly thought it was more balloons popping, as the end of the show featured 200 of them falling from the ceiling during the closing number.

Police reports indicate, a suicide bomber detonated a hidden bomb outside the venue as crowds exited the show, which is difficult to prevent. This is especially heinous considering the concert was mostly frequented by preteens and teens. A report indicated a child was airlifted to the hospital with injuries, which is horribly sad. Other children have been reported missing, leaving their families frantically searching for them. My condolences to the families and friends of the deceased victims. My thoughts and prayers are also with the injured as well.
