This is the best summary I could come up with:
The U.S. warned Russia earlier this month that it had information about a planned terror attack in Moscow, potentially targeting concerts, said National Security Council spokeswoman Adrienne Watson in a statement.
Concertgoers had gathered at Moscow’s Crocus City Hall venue to see the veteran Russian rock band Picnic when several gunmen in military fatigues entered.
Other images show people lying on the ground in the main concert hall before a fire breaks out and spreads, trapping some inside.
Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin said “a huge tragedy has occurred” as the number of dead is expected to rise, and expressed his condolences.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has yet to comment directly on events, instead wishing a speedy recovery to the injured and expressing thanks to doctors through a senior administration official.
The Kremlin said Putin was informed of the attack minutes after it began and received reports from the heads of his security and emergency situations ministries overnight.
