A terrorist attack was carried out at the Crocus City Hall music venue in the city of Krasnogorsk near Moscow on Friday evening. Unidentified gunmen armed with assault rifles went on a shooting spree. An explosion rocked the building, starting a fire. The special services are conducting a search operation. Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin canceled all mass events in the capital in the next two days, and a number of other Russian regions followed suit.
The U.S. seemed to have knowledge that an attack was coming, considering on March 7th, the U.S. warned that "extremists" could target concerts.
The concert hall that was attacked happened to be where Trump held the Miss Universe pageant in 2013.
