MOSCOW (AP) — Assailants burst into a large concert hall in Moscow on Friday and sprayed the crowd with gunfire, killing over 60 people, injuring more than 100 and setting fire to the venue in a brazen attack just days after President Vladimir Putin cemented his grip on power in a highly orchestrated electoral landslide.
The Islamic State group claimed responsibility for the attack in a statement posted on affiliated channels on social media. A U.S. intelligence official told The Associated Press that U.S. intelligence agencies had learned the group’s branch in Afghanistan was planning an attack in Moscow and shared the information with Russian officials.
The last time something like this happened, the police ended up killing more people than the assailants. (If I remember correctly, they locked down the place down and gassed it.)
The fuck did I miss?

Same I’m so confused
Honestly, even after knowing what happened, I’m still confused.
Russian concert halls are very strange places.

That’s it, thanks. I did try a quick search, but everything was obfuscated by current events and I was feeling extremely lazy at the time.
Okay i knew Russia sucked, but i didn’t think it was a fucking cartoon
