The culprit behind the bombing was killed in the attack after detonating the improvised explosive device, authorities said. He was identified Tuesday as 22-year-old Salman Abedi, who sources told NBC News had a British passport. The suspect set off the bomb near one of the venue’s exits as the predominantly younger crowd let out of the arena around 10:30 p.m. local time.
Other artists in the pop world shared their sympathies with the victims, and Miley Cyrus said on Instagram that she was “wishing I could give my friend @ArianaGrande a great big hug right now.”
