Manchester attack hits close to home for parents

Last night a terror attack left 22 people dead and dozens injured. The attack took place at an Ariana Grande concert at the Manchester Arena, right after the singer finished her show. ISIS has claimed responsibility for the attack.

The Manchester stadium was filled with fans — a large portion of them mothers taking their young daughters to the event. As images of the night start to surface, it’s gut wrenching to see these young girls — just out for a night of excitement and fun — looking shocked, terrified, and confused.
