The United States on Friday ruled out possiblity of Ukrainian role in a shocking shooting attack on a Moscow concert hall which claimed the lives of over 40 persons.
DAILY POST earlier reported that about four men dressed in camouflage invaded the Crocus City Hall in Moscow and opened fire on innocent persons.
According to preliminary information, the shooting which occurred at the administrative center of the Moscow region started when the music band Picnic was performing a concert.
A video clip sighted by DAILY POST revealed that one of the suspects has been arrested by the Russian security forces.
Reacting, the US National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby said “there’s no indication” that Ukraine was involved in the “terrible” attack, stating quickly after the news broke that he “would disabuse you at this early hour of any connection to Ukraine.”
“The images are just horrible and just hard to watch and our thoughts obviously going to be with the victims of this terrible, terrible shooting attack,” he told reporters.
“There are some moms, and dads, and brothers, and sisters, and sons, and daughters that haven’t gotten the news yet. And this is going to be a tough day. So our thoughts are with them,” he added.
