MOSCOW (AP) — The death toll from last week's Moscow concert hall attack rose to 140 on Wednesday after another victim died in a hospital, Russian officials said.
That person was one of five still hospitalized in “extremely grave condition,” and the doctors “did everything they could” to save them, Russia's Health Minister Mikhail Murashko said.
A total of 80 people injured in the attack remain hospitalized, the official added, and 205 others have sought outpatient medical assistance.
The Friday night massacre in Crocus City Hall, a sprawling shopping and entertainment venue on the northwestern outskirts of Moscow, was the deadliest terrorist attack on the Russian soil in nearly 20 years. At least four gunmen toting automatic rifles shot at thousands of concertgoers and set the venue on fire.
