UPDATE 1355 — Police raid Manchester home of suspected killer, use controlled explosion
Armed police used explosives to enter a house in Elsmore Road, Fallowfield, Manchester in the past hour reports the Manchester Evening News, which is understood to be the former residence of the suicide bomber who killed 22 at last night’s Ariana Grande concert. A neighbour told the paper:
“There were about 20 armed officers in all black with machine guns. There were another 20 uniformed officers who were in the street.
“There were also plain clothes officers who were also armed. The road was cordoned off, but there was no evacuation of the street”.
The force subsequently confirmed there had been a “controlled explosion” at the property as part of the investigation.
