Sad news... Explosion at concert in England

Another sad news I just learned about...

Apparently there was an explosion at a concert in Manchester, England tonight.
British Police are still investigating but there have been a number of fatalities and injuries.

My thoughts and prayers go out to all the families and friends of those who were affected by this horrible tragedy...

Watching the news coverage as well. Manchester police have reported 19 confirmed dead, over 50 wounded at last report. They are treating the explosion as a possible terrorism case. This is so very, very sad.

Too many evil people in this world. Cowards, like pat said. Evil cowards.

Profound sympathy and prayers for the families.

Edit: BBC News reporting it was a terrorist attack. 22 dead.

My husband literally yelled from the bedroom since he was watching the news - just as I was booking our hotel in London for June! So scary and so sad! :(

I was devastated to hear the news of the Manchester attack, reportely by a suicide bomber. Some of the witnesses reported "nuts & bolts" in the vicinity of the explosion, so that's a good indication of the cause. In addition to being cowards, those who perpetrate these heinous acts are also evil scumbags!

My thoughts and prayers also go to all those affected.

I don't even know what to say.
I'm leaving for London on Saturday. This is the second attack in two months. I don't believe I would get any of my money back (travel insurance won't cover if there was an incident w/in 90 days prior to the current incident) even if I wanted to cancel.

Just sad.

The fact that teenagers and children were targeted is particularly despicable. .

We are going to be in London 35 days from now. Nothing is going to stop us. Fear is what they want, don't let them win.
My sincere thoughts and prayers for all those who are suffering at this time at the hands of these evil, despicable terrorists.
