FORTY KILLED AND MORE THAN 100 INJURED IN TERRORIST ATTACK AT CROCUS CITY HALL IN THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION

At least forty people were killed and more than 100 wounded at Crocus City Hall, a concert venue located in the Krasnogorsky District in central Moscow region, in the Russian Federation, after several armed men opened gunfire on crowds just settling down for a symphony orchestra show.

Nearly all the tickets were sold out at the time of the attacks, which began around 8pm when a number of men burst into the venue, with at least one of the men carrying and then throwing a smoke or incendiary bomb, and began firing on the unsuspecting concert-goers at point-blank range with automatic gunfire.

“Between the second and third call, at least three men in camouflage and without masks ran through the stalls,” said a reporter with Russian news outlet, RIA Novosti, who was at the scene of the emergency said.

“They opened fire from automatic weapons and threw a grenade or incendiary bomb. People lay down on the floor. 15-20 minutes later, they began to crawl out. Someone succeeded," the correspondant added.

Witnesses said there were Security guards at the show, however being unarmed, there was little they could do to offer resistance to the gunmen.

Other witnesses told Ria Novosti that they heard several short bursts of gunfire before seeing smoke and people running from the hall. Some ran to the bathrooms and barricaded themselves inside, while others rushed towards the exits.

At some point, the smoke or incendiary bombs used by the gunmen set fire to the concert hall, with dozens of police, fire brigades and the Russian National Guard responding to the atrack, while personnel from the Federal Investigative Committee and the prosecutor's office responded soon after.

Some witnesses said that after the gunfire, they heard a loud explosion before fire engulfed much of Crocus City Hall. Local fire brigades, though responding quickly to the call, were unable to enter due to the active gunmen inside and ended up using helicopters to drop water over the hall and extinguish the fire, though the upper floors of the building are said to be completely burnt out.

By 10pm, the roof of the Hall had collapsed, however it is unclear if there were still live or wounded victims inside at the time of the collapse. The fire burnt an area that totals more than 12'900 square meters.

According to Federal authorities, the gunmen escaped the scene as the crowds ran out of the concert hall, and were seen driving away in a white Renault sedan. Investigations of the terrorist attack are now underway.
