Please let us know

It appears likely there are casualties into double figures. Reports saying explosion near ticket office foyer. Fatalities may be as a result of a mixture of injuries from the explosion , and maybe from trampling in the panic to escape

Sky now reporting as the police have said it is a possible terror incident

A Twitter feed called pzf quoted the bbc about 45 minutes ago in saying that figure. The bbc haven't said that so thinking it is inaccurate , and other sites have just copied the news

Having said that, it is looking more and more likely than the report may actually turn out to be not far off the mark

Some horrible stuff on social media. Police are treating as a terrorist incident.

Also other reports of other incidents but no confirmation of these yet.

This has really rattled me tonight. Absolutely awful for all involved, especially given AG demographic is children/teenagers, many of whom would've been attending their first ever concert, which should be memorable for the sheer joy and experience of it, not because of this.

Have seen on fb that Sky News are now saying it's terror related

Thank you so much. They are both safe, just got a text. Very very traumatised but physically ok. Tears of relief here but feel so sad for others that aren't ok. Xx
