It was just under two weeks ago that the world watched in horror as an arena full of young girls was attacked with a terrorist bomb at an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester. With its victims still struggling to pick up the pieces of the tragedy they endured and a benefit show planned by Grande in their honor (tune in after the NBA finals on ABC), another shocking attack has occurred in the UK, this time in London.
Seven people were killed and 48 more were injured after a vehicle drove into a crowd of pedestrians on the London Bridge. The reign of terror continued as three men exited the car, wielding knives and embarking on a “stabbing spree.” Though CNN reports that police responded in just eight minutes, killing three men in faux suicide vests on sight and arresting 12 more separately in East London, 21 of the attack’s victims remain in critical condition. Hollywood is now responding to the sickening incident: See their words of love and support below.
