(Moscow) -- Russian President Vladimir Putin says all the suspects connected with Friday's deadly attack at a Moscow music hall have been detained.
In a statement today, Putin called Friday's shooting a "bloody and barbaric terrorist attack" and claimed those involved "tried to escape towards Ukraine." He's declaring a day of mourning and offered condolences to the families of those killed in the attack. Putin said, "Terrorists and killers can expect only one thing, they can expect punishment." He added, "Our enemies will not divide us."
Russian officials now say at least 143 people are dead after gunmen opened fire in a Moscow concert hall. The attack happened during a sold-out rock concert Friday night at the Crocus City Hall in a Moscow suburb.
A group of men wearing camouflage broke in, started shooting and set the hall on fire. At least 100 were injured in the attack. Russian authorities have detained eleven suspects, including four suspected of carrying out the attack.
They have begun questioning the terrorists looking for evidence that Ukraine was behind the attack.
