    When the news first broke, I figured they were suicides.

    I'm in Europe and it's live on all the news channels here—looks pretty bad. Witness said he saw a number of dead children. Might be a bit soon for jokes.

    FOX News is on it full time. The other news channels are still on about Trump.

    Amazingly Fox News is the only one live with it right now. NBC had a short update at the bottom of the hour.

    EDIT: What Twirling said.

    Yeah, nothing funny about this. Not the time for jokes - this guy is getting creamed, thankfully.

    Apparently there are 50 unaccompanied children who have been taken to a nearby hotel who got separated from their parents or guardians in the panic. Can't even imagine the stress.

    There's a train station attached to the arena, so lots more people than just concert goers would have had access to the area.

    The film of people fleeing—I mean, obviously, but it's mostly young girls and teenagers.

    This looks like it's going to be really, really awful. If the reports of 20 dead are accurate, that number only figures to go up.
