were any in the hotel area? i m not sure because we had people deceased and injured outside the videotape of the concert area. so it would be hard to determine or make that determination at this point. we are obviously going to have to talk to all those injured individuals to make that assessment. reporter: how many people injured were shot and how many injured while running away. i don t know. the people havedon displaced in five separate hospitals. it s going to require extensive review of that communication with them to determine that. so thank you very much. i appreciate everybody s time and i appreciate everybody here to the back of me and their support of our police department. and we will keep can you regularly updated. i can t give you an exact time line at this point but we will keep you informed as we receive information. have a good day. thank you. brian williams with you in new york. remarkable poise and grace on the part of sheriff joe lombardo

killing at least 22 people in the manchester arena. children are among the dead. you can see these pictures. all of these young people there, some with their parents, some with their parents outside gathered for this concert. at least 60 were injured. this explosion ripping through a public space just outside the concert area when everyone was leaving the show. we can tell you a male at the scene has been identified as the probable bomber. investigationers are digging into his background as we speak. certainly a chaotic scene in the moments after this blast with thousands of concert goers all trying to figure out what was happening. oh, my god. what s going on? what s happening? what s going on? oh, my god.
incident? a few people said that they had heard that they thought it was a bomb. we thought that because she had a lot of balloons that we thought it was just one of them. and people were being like as we got outside, it was probably a bit more serious. you just thought it was in some of many pink balloons that were in the concert area. he couldn t see any smoke or anything. it was only when we got outside that we realized it was more serious. when you got outside, the police were already there is that right? there is only one at that moment, but it took a couple of minutes. they moved away from the premises to get away from the site and stuff. w have normally gone home by train because of victoria station has been
