The Facts
At least 130 people were killed and scores more were injured after gunmen opened fire and detenotated explosives at a Moscow concert hall late on Friday.
In what was Russia's worst terror attack in years, footage from the inside Crocus City Hall showed camouflaged men fire automatic weapons as panicked Russians fled for their lives. Another video showed the gunmen fire from point-blank range at those who fell.
The Spin
Pro-Russia narrative
This was a heinous attack in which these terrorists went on a calculated killing spree, mowing down dozens of victims. Russian officials are taking swift and immediate action to fully investigate the circumstances around this attack and hold accountable those responsible.
Pro-establishment narrative
This was a shocking and appalling act and has rightly been condemned by world leaders across the world. Acts of terrorism on innocent civilians will never be acceptable and the world stands with Russia at this difficult time.
