UPDATE: Death toll rises to 62. Daily Mail has more – SEE HERE
Approximately 4 to 5 heavily armed men, with long rifles and explosive devices, opened fire earlier today in a Moscow theater. The initial casualty estimations put the number of dead around 40 60 with hundreds more wounded. However, based on footage of the events captured by terrified victims, we can expect that number to increase significantly.

(Sky News) – […] At least 40 people are dead and more than 100 others have been injured following a mass shooting at a concert hall in Russia’s capital.
According to witnesses, between three to five gunmen dressed in camouflage stormed into Moscow’s Crocus City Hall on Friday night and opened fire on concertgoers.
Horrifying footage shared to social media showed hundreds of people ducking for cover as multiple gunshots echoed through the 7,300 capacity venue.
According to the Federal Security Service (FSB), 40 concertgoers are dead and more than 100 others have been injured in the attacks. It is feared that number will rise.
Russia’s top investigative agency, the Investigative Committee, said they are probing the events as a “terrorist attack”, according to the Associate Press. (more)

Emergency services vehicles rush to the burning Crocus City Hall in suburban Moscow which was set ablaze after gunmen opened fire at a rock concert in the Russian capital, according to Russian news agencies. At least 40 people were killed, and more than 100 injured in the attack, according to Russia’s Federal Security Service.
Dear God, bring these grieving families to Your throne of comfort. Their pain is unimaginable as they anguish the loss of their wives, husbands, children and loved ones.
Father of mercy and comfort wrap Your loving arms around them. Help them to breathe and overcome the choking knot of despair in their throat. Please provide strength for their continued faith in You even through this unfathomable pain. Lavish them with Your love and fill the void in their crushed and broken hearts.
In Jesus’ powerful name, I believe and pray.
Amen.
Дорогой Господь, приведи эти скорбящие семьи к Своему престолу утешения. Их боль невообразима, поскольку они переживают потерю своих жен, мужей, детей и близких.
Отец милосердия и утешения, обними их Своими любящими объятиями. Помогите им дышать и преодолеть удушливый узел отчаяния в горле. Прошу Тебя, дай им силы для их непоколебимой веры в Тебя, даже несмотря на эту непостижимую боль. Одари их Своей любовью и заполни пустоту в их раздавленных и разбитых сердцах.
Во имя Иисуса Христа я верю и молюсь.
Аминь.
Russia gun laws severely limit civilian gun ownership and concealed carry in public for self-defence.
Appears to be yet another tragedy that could have been stopped short but wasn’t because the targets were not armed.
Armed criminals are not stopped by signs or laws. Disarmed mass gatherings are preferred targets of mass shooters.
Amen. My heart goes out to the people of Moscow and their loved ones.
Sorry, I’m not buying for one moment the Isis responsibility bull poop.
Who’s been “poking the bear” for the last few years?
The same swampy government(s) that brought to you the Nord Stream Pipline explosion..
Obamy-Brennan & Clintoon-Nuland Approved the Creation of ISIS by the CiA with Pantygone colussion. (Benghazi Connection)
I suppose We now have the answer to Hilarity Rotten Clintoon’s quote of “What difference,at this point, does it make?”
Fill in the blanks, Comrades.
and the Ukraine fiasco
boy I hope we had nothing to do with this…….
I would not be surprised.
That’s “Hopium”, We are up to our eyeballs in this, and We can not be “Good Germans” and try to Avoid Our Responsibility In IT. Our Hands Are Bloody by Omission of Responsibility for Our Own Overflowing DC Toilet.
Well, I hate to disappoint you…
The Obama administration and neocon-Rinos helped to create ISIS. So there is that.
A Ukraine proxy force created by 0’Bama’s corrupt DC Swamp is indeed a possibility.
there’s absolutely no way we had anything to do with that. sarc off
Now Russia will have to sit on their hands and do nothing against the Islamic forces, lest there be calls of ‘massacre’, ‘unfair advantage and strength used’ ‘children and women, binging used as shield, being killed en masse’…..the perps become the victims with public approval.
Islam is the religion to be protected from persecution, while they devastate nations and religions.
Islam can call for the destruction of the US and Israel, but seek protected status when consequences of the brutal attacks on civilizations are carried out.
These were young people at a movie venue! No uniformed fighters.
It’s a ‘concert venue’…..
Please explain. What does Islam have to do with this tragedy?
“Muslim Brotherhood” invited into the Feral Intel by Obamy. ISIS is a CiA construct Merc Force. Russian Intel Knows Who Sponsored this attack. The trigger men are “Useful Idiot” Pawns as usual.
“Who” killed JFK??? How long does it take to recoginize??? probably never/forever.
Exactly. This was not an ISIS attack.
Anyone who has seen the interrogation video tgey posted- the dude is Slavik /Eastern European. Speaks very fluent Russian. The guy is either Ukrainian or some other nationality from eastern europe.
ISIS wears body cams, they broadcast…it’s part of their terror campaign (look at the attack on Israel). And ISIS takes credit via their youtube channels and Arab tv….there’s nothing there. Nada.
Jack Posobiec said they are TAJIKs.
You really think it was “Islamic forces”?? When MSM, TPTB and everyone else immediately blame “ISIS” you can be pretty sure the actual blame goes elsewhere. Considering the casualties, maybe the Ukies recruited the agency that gave us Las Vegas?
The lying Kenyan repeatedly told me that these kinds of events happen only in America.
God bless the souls
Key points from President Putin’s speech:
All four direct perpetrators of the terrorist attack have been located and detained. They attempted to hide on Ukrainian territory, taking advantage of an open border window.
A total of 11 people have been detained. Intelligence agencies are working to identify accomplices to the terrorists. All perpetrators and those who ordered the crime will face deserved punishment, regardless of their identity.
The death toll now stands at 93 people. It is expected to rise more.
Video of the capture of the men directly involved and interrogations of them are being shown.
143 this morning.
Here are two of the suspects via RT. One claimed to be a mercenary who did it for money, half a million rubles or the equivalent of $5418.

Totally not the USA paying those guys
What makes you so sure ? This has CIA and the state department’s finger prints all over it.
Looks like someone is trying to start WW3 .. for no other reason than to retain their hold on power. Its almost as if The Joker and his minions have seized the reigns of pwer in the West
“Someone” ? “As If” ?
If We/Me/You Do Not Control Our Coup Gov. then it Will Be WW 3. At Least the Germans tried to Remove Hitler late in WW 2.
Though Old Joe is no Hitler and is running out his uesfulness to the DC Cabal, they/them may take him out in a Rope a Dope to attack those “Right wing Extremist Deplorables”
Gotta think like a Commie, Comrades. 2024 has not begun to boil Yet.
Yes, that makes sense, since Ukraine is the closest currently friendly (to adversaries of Russia) neighbor to Moscow region and, with the chaos there, it’s easy to slip through with help, like from our ‘advisors’ in the region. Entrance and necessary papers are arranged. Then they simply disappear.
However, in time of conflict, doing the unexpected is often the best move. Remember how the CIA flew the Canadian embassy ‘residents’ out of Tehran right under the nose of the enemy there?
Putin is smart. Russian intelligence is robust. I doubt we’ll get the whole story, or even a modicum of it. Condolences, again, for the increasing number lost. Sad. 🙁
“There is only one future for them…retribution….and oblivion!”
What horror! All being perpetuated in the name of ______________ the unnamable darkness.
I am so sorry for all of the innocent deaths.
I fear we are next. Our national borders are wide open. The perpetrators of this affront against humanity are here as well!
I’m watching WarRoom this morning. Bannon has Posobiec on and he’s sharing loads of information.
This is part of Victoria Nuland’s speech as she left, emphasis is mine.
“With this money, Ukraine will be able to fight back in the East and accelerate the asymmetric warfare that has been most effective on the battlefield. And as I said in Kyiv three weeks ago, this supplemental funding will ensure Putin faces some nasty surprises on the battlefield this year.”
https://www.state.gov/under-secretary-of-state-victoria-nulands-remarks-on-the-two-year-anniversary-of-russias-full-scale-invasion-of-ukraine/
I suspect we are funding whatever happened in Russia and that sickens me.
Of course we are….
Russians posted a video of one being interrogated (I wish I learned Russian).
A commenter shared all he could understand, via his very rough Russian (said too many unkown words) but said he did catch- they were hired, paid something around 5 million rubles….but re-stated his Russian is rusty.
The Russians, knelt dude down (only in a tshirt)- and just asked questions. By the end the dude couldn’t stop shaking from how cold he had become.
This was not ISIS. They look to be Slavic and the one being interrogated spoke very fluent Russian.
Agreed, look at all of the Islamic attacks and they yell Alahu Akbar. Strangely, these ISIS attackers did not.
Not even surprising they were paid.
It’s a sad state of affairs when my initial reaction to these attacks is a sinking heart believing my own government was involved.
WWIII Ol’ Yeller Joe is hellbent to have us in kinetic wars all while he has crippled our military readiness.
Not only do they praise Allah while terrorizing- tge last 3-4 attacks by them have all been filmed with body cameras and go-pros. They then broadcast and take credit (via a high level person) on youtube, telegram, their own sites, and ME news stations.
None of that ….and more so when was the last time ISIS conducted a terror attack on “foreign” soil where they didn’t keep going until they were killed?
Our government hopes we don’t notice.
The terrorists are Tajik, and were heading into Belarus through a relatively unguarded heavily forested border area, where they were captured by Russian forces.
FWIW- Tajiks admit to being recruited by “the pastor” online…
No shouting of “Allah Akbar.”
Not hopped up on jihad.
No martyrdom sought…
Cold blooded killers for hire.
Reporting 143 dead.
Per, Jack Posobiec’s interview with Steve Bannon, on his show- War Room, carried by Real America’s Voice News.
Prepare for the same kind of attacks on U S soil, multiplied by a factor of ten, conducted simultaneously.
“Cold blooded killers for hire.”
That simple statement sums up the whole of this terrible act of terrorism well.
The death of innocents for a few Rubles.
Don’t committed terrorists almost always off themselves rather than being taken captive ?
Nuland admits intent and the State Department ventriloquist foreknowledge with the warning for Americans to avoid concerts and malls.
“I suspect we are funding whatever happened in Russia and that sickens me.”
It is quite literally an abomination.
The Russians will Not Take this Outrage to their Homeland lightly. Woe to those that Caused this And to those that Created it, looking at You Langley.
If the American People Do Not Take Responsibility for Their Feral Dog Coupist government, then Others Will.
You GET the Justice You Fail to Enforce.
We are looking at You Too FIB/ATF and Dept of InJ. / DHS for Your Domestic Tyrannies. btw, “Obeying Orders”Is NO DEFENSE.
First and second this. Beyond the pale.
This Is Not ISIS – Rossiya Segodnya Editor-in-Chief on Moscow Concert Hall Attack
Ukraine and the West have resorted to false flag operations to persuade everyone that ISIS* was behind the terror attack in the Crocus City Hall concert venue near Moscow, said Margarita Simonyan, the editor-in-chief of Sputnik’s parent media group Rossiya Segodnya.
The head of the media group stressed that the names and faces of the perpetrators are already known to authorities and that the terrorists gave everything away during interrogation.
“It immediately became obvious why US media were claiming in unison that it was ISIS,” she said.
Simonyan explained that the perpetrators were chosen to carry out the attack in a manner that would allow the West to persuade the international community that ISIS was behind the attack.
“Basic sleight of hand. The level of a railway thimble-rigger,” she added.” It has nothing to do with ISIS. It’s Ukrainians.”
She added that the enthusiasm displayed by Western media when they tried to persuade everyone that ISIS was responsible even before arrests were made gave them away completely.
“This is not ISIS. This is a well-coordinated team of several other, also widely known, abbreviations,” Simonyan concluded.
C-I-A….
Not all of us Americans are stupid Ms. Simonyan.
I’m sure the CIA had nothing to do with this attack…
Uh huh, yep, that is the talking point.
Or Vegas, Paris, 9/11, a number of school shootings, that congressional baseball practice, on and on….
The Congressional baseball practice? Damn thats the only one I kinda half way approved of!
Like, the targeting got it half right,…
No. It was the four men that escaped Moscow on the back of a camel.
Magic Carpet ride…lousy camels all I found,..
The “religion of peace” strikes again.”
Happy Ramadan Russia!
Ramadan began on the evening on Sunday, March 10, 2024 and ends on Tuesday, April 9, 2024. We are supposed to celebrate and in the U.S. we are to praise “diversity.”
I caution buying the pushed narrative without reflecting on information our own government divulged prior to this horrific attack.
Our State Dept. put out a warning with tremendous specificity prior to the attack.
Nuland hyped Ukraine’s effectiveness at asymmetric warfare and that US money was funding it. “this supplemental funding will ensure Putin faces some nasty surprises…”
Head on a swivel, everyone.
Our government has made it clear they consider their political opponents aka MAGA as much of a threat as they do Putin and Russia.
Coupled with them warning Embassy people to stay out of public areas.
“this supplemental funding will ensure Putin faces some nasty surprises…”
Nuland may herself face some nasty surprises, like a few others that defied Russia in the past!
There is no proof that the terrorists that committed these acts are Muslim.
Unless you are a hard core Koolaid drinker with a distorted reality, and believe all that is said by the MSM
Koolaid drinker, or seller?
May peace soften the burden of the victims as soon as possible.
May the truth be brought into the darkness so that necessary healing can set roots.
Does anyone else wonder how the US Embassy had advance knowledge of this event? If so, the question might be where did that information come from?
Yes, I wondered about it and a theory came to mind…. they posted an alert, a 48 hour alert, two days, then nothing happened, people shrugged it off as alarmism and went back to usual and customary behavior and then a couple weeks later, boom.
Who feeds the Embassy chain of command intelligence in the region? Pompeo and Haspel ran it for PDJT, or more precisely the deep state fingered the Senate to pre-approve and promote those picks.
The State Dept. (Embassy) works hand in glove with the CIA. Look at Benghazi.
Nuland was State Dept. Look at the Color Revolutions that seem to happen wherever she goes.
Recall that the CIA is now linked directly to being on scene for J6.
Do you not think it likely that our government knew the information because we were engineering the action and also the narrative around it?
That was my first thought, which is why I posted the question. But there are so many bad actors with differing agendas around the world that I was also hoping someone had more information. Things are getting real crazy these days.
Who exactly and why carried out the attack, as a result of which, according to incomplete FSB data, more than 60 people were killed and 140 were injured (the numbers will obviously increase), is still unknown.
Some Kommersant sources suggested that the terrorists could be members of the Russian Volunteer Corps organization, banned in Russia. Its members periodically carry out attacks on populated areas in the Russian regions bordering Ukraine. Just on the eve of the terrorist attack, FSB officers detained in Moscow a whole group of their supporters who were planning to go to fight in Ukraine, but in the meantime were committing minor sabotage in Russia.
Already at night, security forces began to receive instructions from the operational headquarters, in accordance with which the search for the attackers was carried out. In them, according to Kommersant’s sources, it was said that the terrorists were young men, above average height, up to 180 cm, and may have used false beards and mustaches.
The criminals were dressed in military clothing, including high boots. Moreover, their training, according to the updated version of the security forces, could have been not only combat, but also airsoft, hence, perhaps, shooting at literally everyone whom the criminals considered their opponents.
I doubt we’ll see it but I’d love to see the drug tests on the mercs. I’m always interested in mind altering pharma 🙂
Their bank accounts may prove revealing information also. With recent large deposits.
I would posit that they deal in cash or PM’s but of course could be wrong. CIA still operate a printing room at Langley?
Yaroslav Dronov, better known as Shaman, has pledged to pay not only for every single funeral of today’s terror attack victims, but even for the rehabilitation of all the wounded:
It’s times like these which separate the ‘liberals’ from the patriots and will further solidify Russia’s patriotic core.
It’s the same in the US. The patriots would show compassion while liberals do not.
For those who are not familiar with the Russian singer, Shaman, here is one of his most well known performances.
While Here in America we get so called “Artists” croaking out songs like “Born in the USA.”
Ugh.
Always hated that song.
Shaman is much better.
As are these lovely young women:
Wonder if this was John McCain’s group of ISIS, or isn’t IS or Daesh now.
Hmm…. Seems Russia has not been watching the western MSM.
Putins Attack dog Dmitry Medvedev had this to say.
“If it is established that the Kiev regime’s terrorists are to blame, it will be impossible to deal with them and their ideologists otherwise. All of them must be tracked down and ruthlessly eliminated as terrorists. Including officials of the state that committed such an atrocity,” Medvedev wrote.
“Death for death,” he vowed.
” Including officials of the state ” Sounds like they know what we know. Why would they be listening to western MSM ?
Here is some additional background information on this attack.

Another CIA backed operation!! Wonder what CIA promised ISIS to take credit for it? Ukraine will pay the price.
From a purported CIA linked site. Creating some separation from the upcoming events?
Most Holy Lord,
We pray today most humbly and on this Sunday, Palm Sunday and Holy week, for your comfort on the families of the injured and dead. Pray for the Russian people, who are your people. They like Americans and all people yearn for your loving peace.
And finally we ask your blessings Lord on our families and our nation and in the name of Jesus, your only begotten son we humbly ask for your intercession to remove from power, the vain glorious and corrupt leadership from all nations, but thy will be done.
All these things we ask in your holy name, Amen
Wonder how many days will pass before our government claims Putin had it done.
Ukraine made claims about Russia having it done before the dust even settled and the fires put out.
Andrii Yusov, a spokesperson of Ukraine’s Main Directorate of Intelligence (HUR), told Ukrainska Pravda just minutes after the initial reports of the attack that the shooting was a “deliberate provocation by Putin’s special services.”
After we pray to our Most Holy Lord for the victims families who now bury their dead, and for the healing of the wounded, Americans had best buckle up.
The elected miscreants and monsters who “unleashed the whirlwind ” of man over law, have guided our corrupt bosses to welcome countless illegal degenerates into our land- thousands of which are as bad as these.
If anyone thinks this won’t happen here- with far worse results- they need a checkup from the neck up. Bet that Biden/ team Obama fundraisers are interested in this type of action, foolishly thinking their Marshal Law response will win them favor with the voters. Tyrants are all the same.
” With this money, Ukraine will be able to fight back in the East and accelerate the asymmetric warfare that his been most effective on the battlefield. And as I said in Kyiv three weeks ago, this supplemental funding will ensure Putin faces some nasty surprises this year.”………………… Victoria Nuland
I mean really was there ever any doubt at all ? As soon as I heard the news I thought Victoria Nuland, the US state department and the CIA.
They had to be planning this for a long time, well before Nuland left the state department.
Lets hope the warmongering fools do not plan on doing the same here in America and some how blame it on Russia, Russia, Russia to further their WWIII goals.
Hopefully if Obama, Nuland, Blinken and others, if involved,they will have their ears cut off and forced to eat it like what happened to one of the attackers
I have no doubts this criminal organization is behind it. All I ask if the US receives paybacks from Russia,let them confine it to DC. No loss
Very troubling-the victims were all armed with their cell phones. This is what happens in a society that isn’t allowed to be armed.
Supposedly its ISIS – that is responsible for this attack…Death count updated to 140…
Moscow attack: video captures gunmen storming concert hall and shooting dozens dead | BBC News (youtube.com)
OOOPs posted wrong video:
death count updated and ISIS claimed to be responsible.
Wow. The comments are on fire.
Wonder if anyone in the “establishment” will read through them and make a note:
The People are Pissed and I don’t think they’re going to take it any more.
When Americans are openly hating on their own government and openly praying for the Russians, I would think The Powers That Be would realize they have LOST the information war and do an about face. I can dream.
Also, was waiting for Killary to make a statement because whatever she says, the opposite is true.
