As concertgoers left the Ariana Grande concert in the U.K.’s Manchester Arena on Monday night, their happiness quickly turned to terror as the boom of an explosion echoed throughout the venue.
In a statement, Manchester police said 19 people were killed and approximately 50 others were injured in the blast. British Transport Police said the explosion was reported in the venue’s foyer about 10:30 p.m. local time, but the arena said on its website that it “took place outside the venue in a public space.”
The explosion’s exact cause was not immediately clear, though Manchester police said they were investigating possible terrorism.
