22 dead, 59 injured in attack at Manchester Arena

“This was among the worst terrorist incidents we have ever experienced in the United Kingdom,” she said Tuesday. “And although it is not the first time Manchester has suffered in this way, it is the worst attack the city has experienced, and the worst ever to hit the North of England.”

Police responded to the arena after receiving calls of an explosion at Manchester Arena at the end Grande’s concert. Witnesses reported hearing two loud bangs.

The singer was not harmed, her representative said.

Law enforcement said they are treating the event as a terrorist attack conducted by one man, who was carrying an improvised explosive device. The attacker died at the arena, Ian Hopkins, chief constable of Greater Manchester Police, said in a statement.

Eighteen-year-old Georgina Callander was the first victim to be named.

May, who suspended her campaign for re-election, thanked the first responders and people of Manchester on Tuesday, who opened their homes to victims. But she also vowed that terrorists will “never win.”

“Today, let us remember those who died, and let us celebrate those who helped, safe in the knowledge that the terrorist will never win, and our values, our country and our way of life will always prevail,” she said.

President Trump, on his first foreign trip, also condemned the terrorists who carried out the attack

“I extend my deepest condolences to those so terribly injured in this terrorist attack, and to the many killed and the families, so many families, of the victims,” he said Tuesday. “So many young, beautiful, innocent people living and enjoying their lives, murdered by evil losers in life.”

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who appeared beside Trump at a later event in Jerusalem, said those behind the attack will “continue to lose.”

“Mr. President, today you called the terrorist losers,” he said during a joint appearance at Yad Vashem, a Holocaust memorial in Jerusalem. “I know you agree with me that it’s our job to make sure that they continue to lose. We will defeat them.”
