The train station is in close proximity people leaving the concert.

If it is a bomb it's cowardly as it gets.

Tragic. This looks really bad. A venue full of kids hoping to see their pop hero in concert, probably something they have been looking forward to for months, then this happens at the end.

can only hope and pray for the people and families at this event tonight.

Initial reports suggest it is not a bomb

Thoughts are with all caught up in this and those sadly taken.

30 bodies strewn across the floor of the box office.

Apparently it occurred in a public space after the concert.

19 dead 50 injured.as depraved as you can possibly get

A few weeks ago my daughter was begging us to take her to that concert. I was looking up tickets for her and the Mrs but because it was so close to the concert it was only the 'get me in tickets' - I went as far as having two in the checkout but baulked at the price.

I hate getting exploited from those 'tout' websites, plus they are going to see Little Mix later in the year (maybe not now )

The Mrs and I feel sick at the thought of what has happened.

Thoughts with all affected.

My wife was at the take that concert Saturday i can't even imagine what those families are feeling.

Rip the victims

This is horrific. Senseless.

Evil swines.

Thats all it is, a needless, disgusting lust for blood.

Makes me fvcking sick quite frankly.

I have a 6 year old daughter and I was reading there were many 6 year olds at the concert last night.

My wife is in tears this morning waking up to this news.

Totally devastated for anyone caught up in this.

Leaves you speachless and numb that we live in an era amongst such evil. Words can't describe it rely.

Rip the poor youngsters tragically taken.

It's in times like this I almost wish there was a god, just to see them standing in front of their chosen deity.

"Hey look god, I just killed 40 children for you. Proud of me?"

Wonder how long it'd take for them to realise their mistake.

Just twigged that the reason my daughter asked to was because she heard her older pals were talking about going, god, I hope they were not there.

The Mrs also reminded me that we couldn't get tickets that weren't restricted view.

22 dead now

I can only hope there is some sort of level-headed response and this isn't just used as justification for even more bombs being dropped on Syria, killing even more people.

Fat chance of that, but I can still hope.

My 30 year old daughter stayed overnight at a hotel in Manchester City Centre on business last night - she texted me this morning to say she was ok, thank God. She was at the Muse concert in the Arena last year (think Ginger was at that concert too)

I am watching the news and feel the same way I did the morning of the Dunblane Massacre - sitting here with years in my eyes even though I don't know any of the victims personally. Any life lost is terrible, but if children are involved it becomes even more tragic

RIP those who have passed
