Ariana Grande fans were evacuated from the singer's concert at Manchester Arena in England on Monday night after reports of multiple "explosions" at the end of the show. Emergency services responded quickly to a "serious incident" at the arena and told locals to "avoid the area," though it wasn't made clear whether the loud noises were due to pyrotechnics or more suspicious circumstances. Later, the Manchester Police Department issued a statement via Twitter, reporting that there were a "number of confirmed fatalities" and additional injuries. They then continued to update the public with new information.
