(BBC) A firearms officer tasked with “eliminating” any further terrorist threat after the Manchester Arena blast said it was the “worst feeling” not being able to help casualties.
PC Lee Moore and PC James Simkin were the first armed officers to arrive at the venue on the night of [the] bombing.
The pair entered the foyer area less than 15 minutes after the explosion.
Mr Moore told the inquiry into the attack “that the events of that night will last with me forever.”
The officers conducted a quick “raw” visual check to exclude the possibility of a gunman in the room, following reports of shooting, or any signs of a secondary device.
