A terror attack has occurred in Moscow. Allegedly 40 or so are dead after armed gunman entered an arena/theater and began shooting.
The US had warned Americans of staying away from Russia due to an implied threat of an attack. It is obviously unknown who or why this attack occurred. I'm confused how the building was able to get to so flammable by an unknown number of gunman.

article said:Several gunmen burst into the concert hall on the edge of Moscow and sprayed visitors with automatic gunfire, killing and wounding dozens and starting a massive blaze. Russian media reported that the venue's roof was collapsing.
The attack comes days after President Vladimir Putin cemented his grip on the country in a highly orchestrated electoral landslide.
Russian news reports said that the assailants threw explosives, triggering the massive blaze. Video posted on social media showed huge plumes of black smoke rising over the building, which can accommodate more than 6,000 people.
