manchester, england, time last night. sheer panic. a reported sold out crowd at a 21,000 capacity site with thousands running for their lives. we now know at least 22 people have died. some we have learned are children, another 59 injured. confusion and chaos caught on camera. they say they weren't sure what was happening at first. >> no, it didn't sound loud enough to be what it is suspected to be. we made it out, everybody was going every directions. we thought, we're not going to run where everybody else is so we hit under a bridge. >> reporter: and there is now evidence this morning supporting the fact that this was perhaps carried out by a suicide bomber perhaps. it is unclear if that person was acting alone. at homeland security they say

security. there are no credible threats to music venues. >> justin finch at the british embassy. thank you. leaders around the world are condemning the attack this morning. angie goff is live at the live desk with what we're seeing. >> reporter: eun, the world in shock over all of this. german chancellor angela merkel sending thoughts and prayers. we're seeing frans's interior minister saying online that they'll work with event organizers on securing public spaces here. president vladimir putin said that the country is ready to up its security there. as we go online speaking of the pop singer, she herself expressing extreme sorrow saying she was heart broken and so, so sorry for what happened. she said that, eun, in a tweet. grain one be of

bring them to justice. the police and security services believe that the attack was carried out by one man but they now need to know whether he was acting alone or is part of a wider group. it will take some time to establish these facts and the investigation will continue. the police and security services will be given all the resources they need to complete that task. the police and security services believe they know the identity of the perpetrator, but at this stage of their investigation we cannot confirm his name. the police and emergency services have as always acted with great courage and on behalf of the country, i want to express our gratitude to them. they acted in accordance with the plans they have in place and the exercises they conduct to test those plans and they performed with the utmost

400 police officers were involved in the operations through the night and many paramedics, doctors and nurses have worked valiantly amid traumatic and terrible scenes to save lives and care for the wounded. significant resources have been deployed to the police investigation and there continue to be visible patrols around manchester, which include the deployment of armed officers. so people who live and work in manchester, there remains a large core doning in place which will be in place for some time. the station is closed and will remain closed while a detailed forensic search is underway. we know that many friends and relatives of people caught up in the attack are still trying to find out what has happened to their children, brothers,

experiencing unimaginable worry. if you have any information at all relating to the attack, please contact greater manchester police. the threat level remains at severe. that means that a terrorist attack remains highly likely, but the independent joint terrorism analysis center which sets the threat level on the basis of the intelligence available to them will assess this today and in the days ahead. later today i will travel to manchester to meet the chief constable of greater manchester police, ian hawkins, andy burnham and members of the emergency services who have come to manchester in need. as i announced last night, the general election campaign has been suspended. i will chair another meeting later today. at terrible moments like these, it is customary for leaders, politicians and others to

declare that the terrorists will not win. but the fact between us being here before and the fact that we need to say this again does not make it any less true. so often while we experience the worst of in humanity in manchester last night, we also saw the best. the cowardess of the attacker met the bravery of the emergency services and the people of manchester. the attempt to divide us meant countless acts of kindness that brought people closer together and in the days ahead, those must be the things we remember. the images we hold in our mind should not be those of senseless slaughter but of the ordinary men and women who put concerns about their own safety to one side and rushed to help. of the men and women of the emergency services who work

help and to save lives. of the messages of solidarity and hope for those who opened their homes to the victims. they are the images who embodied the spirit of manchester and bring the continue and a zero rethat has never been broken and will never be broken. there will be difficult days ahead. we offer our thoughts and prayers to those affected. we offer our full support to the authorities, the emergency and for security purposes as they go about their work. and we all, every single one of us, stand with the people of manchester at this terrible time. and today let us remember those who died and let us celebrate those who helped safe in the among that the terrorists will never win and our values,

country and our way of life will always prevail. you've been listening to prime minister theresa may. the spirit of manchester and the people of england will never be broken and that the worst has been shown by the emergency services people. >> police believe they do know the identity of the attacker. at this point they can't confirm it so they aren't releasing the name as the investigation stretches well into the next several days. we'll update you as we learn more coming out of manchester. 6:12. it was the arrest that sparked riots in maryland. new action being taken against some of the officers involved in the death of freddie gray. plus, a chance for parole. o.j. simpson could soon be a freeman. look at the timing and why now. a
