Not seeing where it says bombing. Police confirm report of an explosion only at this time so not necessarily a bomb. Need to await the facts and despite reported fatalities, we can only hope it is not terrorist related.

Terrible business. RIP to those killed. Let's not jump to conclusions about cause until the police have done their work.

There's a video circulating on Twitter of the explosion in Victoria Starion unfortunately. Thoughts go out to anyone involved.

It's what the police aren't saying and the video on Twitter of ambulances going down in a convoy that seems to tell you what this is.

Surely they've established some facts by now of whether or not it's terror related. They certainly haven't ruled it out as there are armed police at the scene!

There's a video on Twitter now showing armed police removing a man from a car and apparently arresting him!

Twitter reporting gunshots at Oldham hospital.
May not be true or may not be related.

I live half a mile down the ring road from the arena. The road has been shut for the past couple of hours, honestly there must have been at least 100 ambulances, police cars and a few fire engines drive down the road.
It's pretty chaotic, armed police and helicopters as well. Loads of youngsters walking the streets. Sadly, there seems to be a lot of ambulances going the other way now, sirens blaring.

Just got home from the arena. My wife and 9 year old daughter were at the gig. I dropped them off and then picked them up after. Wife was shaking like a leaf and daughter was hysterical - but thankfully unharmed!
Looks like it was a bomb, so I am fucking fuming. Some scumbags have deliberately tried to murder my little girl and my wife, in the name of ........ (I guess I need to wait until we know who it was before I can direct a lifetime of disgust and hate onto them).
Heartbreaking that people have lost their lives, I can't imagine how their families and friends must feel.

Your right about calling them scumbags hopefully they will be caught. I'd like to put these cowards in a room with one of their bombs and let them feel the terror they've caused tonight. Only thing is in their deluded minds they would be martyrs when they are nothing more than cowards.

I was walking a few hundred yards away towards Shudehill from The Northern Quarter when it happened. Absolute chaos followed, my heart goes out to everyone affected....

The wife thinks she heard 2 explosions, second one about a minute after the first. As you are local have you heard anything about whether there was 2 explosiong?

I'm listening to it now on local radio but everything is uncorfirmed. A few people have mentioned a suicide bomber but a few different accounts to be honest. Just confirmed 19 dead and 50 injured to date...
