Welcome back to my channel. I bring to you a sad, shocking and disturbing story. Story penned Joe Marino, Patrick Reilly ISIS takes responsibility for Moscow concert shooting that killed 40, injured over 100At least 40 people were massacred and more than 100 others were wounded after several gunmen opened fire during a concert in Moscow on Friday, according to Russian officials. ISIS claimed responsibility for the attack in a brief statement posted on Telegram on its affiliated news agency Amaq, CNN reported. The terrorist group did not provide any evidence to substantiate their claim. Disturbing video posted online showed at least five gunmen in military uniforms shooting screaming civilians with automatic weapons as others ducked for cover at the Crocus City Hall, where Russian rock band Picnic was about to take the stage for a sold-out show. Other footage shows the men firing at concertgoers at point-blank range below the venue’s entrance sign as bloodied bodies lay motionless on the ground. Russian media reports said that the assailants threw explosives, triggering the massive blaze at the hall, which can hold more than 6,000 people. Video showed flames and black smoke light up the night sky as scores of ambulances, fire trucks and law enforcement flocked to the chaotic scene. Helicopters dropped water on the building as responders evacuated around 100 people from the basement, Russian media reported. The fire caused the venue’s roof to collapse. Russia’s Federal Security Service, the country’s main domestic security and counter-terrorism agency, confirmed that 40 people were dead and 100 hurt. The prosecutor’s office said several men in combat fatigues entered the concert hall and fired on concertgoers. “Suddenly there were bangs behind us — shots. A burst of firing — I do not know what,” one witness who asked not to be named told Reuters.“A stampede began, everyone ran to the escalator,” the witness said. “Everyone was screaming, everyone was running.” Volleys of gunfire can be heard ringing out repeatedly in videos posted by Russian media. None of the venue’s security guards had guns, according to reports. She said Washington should immediately pass any information it had to Moscow — or stop making such statements. “On what basis do officials in Washington draw any conclusions in the midst of a tragedy about someone’s innocence?” Zakharova said. Kirby told reporters that he does not believe the embassy’s warning earlier this month was related to Friday’s attack. When asked if the US had any prior information about the assault, Kirby said he was “not aware of any advance knowledge that we had of this terrible attack.”Ukrainian presidential adviser Mykhailo Podolyak claimed Kyiv “had absolutely nothing to do with these events” in a video message posted on Telegram. Hours before the attack, the Russian military paralyzed Ukraine’s electrical grid after targeting power sources, leaving more than a million people without power. Security at Moscow’s airports and railway stations was tightened in response to the shooting. All mass gatherings have been canceled for the weekend in the capital city, the mayor announced. “A terrible tragedy occurred in the shopping center Crocus City today,” Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said. “I am sorry for the loved ones of the victims.” The Kremlin said Putin is aware of Friday’s attack. “The president constantly receives information about what is happening and about the measures being taken through all relevant services. The head of state gave all the necessary instructions,” spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said. Please subscribe, comment, like, share and follow for more content.
