Feck, it looks like it is real. Apparently at Ariana Grande concert. Shots fired as well according to reports.

Yeah its breaking now

Literally hundred of reports that it was a speaker malfunction.

I've even read some reports that it was a balloon being popped next to a mic.

Seen footage from inside the arena after the incident and there's no smoke or obvious damage.

Have a feeling this is fake news gone mad, but if not I hope everyone's safe.

Just seen some photos that I wish I hadn't. Doesn't look good.

I hope it is fake news. Seen a couple of different people post different but similar photos. If they are real, then it looks like there are fatalities.

Really?

Absolutely nothing has been confirmed. Could be anything

Just seen pictures of people lying on floor and with blood. There's been a bomb for sure.

Yes. Can't be sure that they are real, but two separate people on Twitter posted very similar photos of the same area.

Nothing on the news yet

Explosions heard from houses near the arena

Seems likely it will be a bomb

Not sure if it's real or not yet.

The pics on twitter aren't real though, at least the main ones doing the rounds already.

Just confusion at the moment.

Everyone's saying that picture is fake, but the footage of all the ambulances heading towards the arena clearly isn't fake.

Yeah that's not real SE.

is this actually true? wtf

They have shut the train station, ambulances everywhere and people are saying there's people covered in blood and heard explosions from in nearby flats.

That picture doesn't look fake to me either. Clearly the Arena. I've been to enough gigs there in my time. Been to 3 there since xmas.

this is a clip of the crowd running away

It is on the BBC that police are responding to an incident. Just seen a video of a lad outside (presume a journo student) saying that he has spoken to people inside and that they reported 2 load explosions and debris falling on them as they left the building. I think that concert had just finished and people were already leaving.

Fake news?

They didn't waste any time making a fake picture. That appeared almost instantly.

Maybe it is fake, who knows. Doesn't look good though.

Nina Warhurst‏ @NinaWarhurst
eyewitness tells us @bbc5live "there were casualties being treated outside. It's the loudest bang I've ever heard." No police confirmation

Police now calling it a serious incident.

Don't they fecking check bags at concerts? Absolute poverty.

Yeah it is fake just seen it. Nerve of some people eh?
