Moscow concert hall shooting: At least 60 dead after three gunmen 'in camouflage uniform' open fire on crowd in 'terror attack'

 

At least 60 people have been killed after gunmen attacked a packed concert venue on the outskirts of Moscow.

Around 100 people were also hurt when gunmen in camouflage clothing opened fire with automatic weapons on people at a concert in the Crocus City Hall on Friday.    

In one of the worst such attacks in Russia in years, at least five people were shown in unverified videos firing repeatedly at screaming civilians cowering in the concert hall as Soviet-era rock group 'Picnic' was about to perform at around 8pm local time.

Flames leapt into the sky and plumes of black smoke rose above the venue as hundreds of blue lights from emergency vehicles flashed into the night

 

Helicopters sought to douse the flames and evacuated around 100 people from the basement, Russian media reported. 

 

Police, special forces and 70 ambulances attended the scene, with some video footage showing a number of people lying motionless in pools of blood outside the hall.
