Several camouflage-clad gunmen opened fire today at a popular concert hall on the outskirts of Moscow, killing at least 40 people and wounding more than 100, Russia’s top security agency said, according to state news agencies.
There was no report of who might be responsible for the attack, but state media said that there were up to five perpetrators.
The attack at the concert venue, Crocus City Hall, in the suburb of Krasnogorsk, could be the deadliest in Russia in decades.
In videos filmed inside the hall, audience members are heard screaming, and there are multiple gunshots.
Other videos filmed from a highway outside of the building show parts of it on fire producing heavy smoke.
