Pop star Ariana Grande was holding one of her concerts at the Manchester Arena Monday in England when at the end of the show a suicide bomber attacked killing at least 19 concert goers and injuring 59 others according to reports. Officials say the act of terrorism targeted mostly children and women who were attending the show.
Following the explosion near one of the exits many parents were separated from their children in the mass chaos that ensued, leaving both children and parents searching for each other. Now hours after the attack, just like the Pulse night club attack in Orlando, people are still searching for their missing loved ones. Social Media in Britain has been ablaze with posts and shares of photos and descriptions of missing concert goers.
I can only imagine how these family members and friends are feeling right now. I would be sick to my stomach not knowing if they were ok or not, and with each passing hour that they remained missing would only make it worse. Can you imagine being a parent who couldn't find their child after the show? Or the parent or older sibling who lost their child from sight following the explosion and is now wondering what happened to them?
Plus Ariana Grande feels "broken" and horrible that children who came to see her are now lying dead. She tweeted "Broken. From the bottom of my heart, I am so so sorry. I don't have words."
Her press agent said they will suspend the rest of her world tour Indefinitely according to TMZ. Scooter Braun, Ariana's manager said, "We mourn the lives of children and loved ones taken by this cowardly act. We ask all of you to hold the victims, their families, and all those affected in your hearts and prayers."
I second that statement for sure, "Dear Lord please stand by the victims and loved ones who have lost someone. Through Jesus Christ I pray, amen."
