A suicide bomber caused the carnage Monday night where at least 22 fans attending an Ariana Grande concert were killed, and at least another 59 were injured at United Kingdom’s Manchester Arena.
Chief constable Ian Hopkins announced at a press conference early Tuesday that the bomber was “carrying an improvised explosive device, which he detonated causing this atrocity.”
