At least 20 fatalities after explosion at Ariana Grande concert

UPDATE 2:40 a.m. EST:

Manchester police confirmed in a statement early Tuesday that the death toll from the attack climbed to 22, with 59 injured. They also said that that the suspected attacker appeared to perish at the site, and their preliminary investigation seemed to indicate there was one lone attacker. This would not rule out that he did so at the order of a terrorist group, or that he had help with planning the attack from a cell in the country.

Police also said that there were children among those killed.

UPDATE 8:16 p.m. EST:

Manchester police say there are 19 confirmed dead, 50 injured, and that they're treating the incident as a terror attack unless they discover evidence otherwise.
