WARNING: DISTRESSING CONTENT. At 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.
