11 people detained in connection with Moscow concert hall attack

Eleven people have been detained after gunmen stormed a concert hall in Moscow and opened fire on the crowd.

At least 93 people were killed in the attack, including three children. More than 140 others were injured.

The head of Russia’s Federal Security Service told President Vladimir Putin on Saturday.

Images shared by Russian state media Saturday showed a fleet of emergency vehicles still gathered outside the ruins of Crocus City Hall, a shopping mall and music venue with a capacity of more than 6,000 people in Krasnogorsk on Moscow’s western edge.

Friday's attack came just days after President Vladimir Putin cemented his grip on power in a highly orchestrated electoral landslide.

The attack was the deadliest in Russia in years and came as the country's fight in Ukraine dragged into a third year.

Videos posted online showed gunmen in the venue shooting civilians at point-blank range.
