14 more victims have been identified in the aftermath of the horrific Manchester bombing that killed 22 people Monday night. After attending an Ariana Grande concert, thousands of fans, many of them teenagers, exited the Manchester Arena, ready to head home or be picked up by their awaiting parents. Instead, the crowd fell victim to a suicide bomber, who killed dozens of concertgoers instantly and injured 59 others. Georgina Callander, 18, and Saffie Rose Roussos, 8, were the first victims identified in the attack, and now, nearly all 22 victims have been named.
