Viktor Gusev and his wife were at the Crocus Town Hall, where the terrorist attack took place. They escaped

Commentator Viktor Gusev and his wife were in the Crocus City Hall building at the time of the tragedy, reports “SE”.

They came to attend a concert by the group Picnic, whose fans have been there for several decades. They managed to escape and are now out of danger.

“My wife and I were sitting in a box above the stalls. I saw people going on stage, I heard machine gun fire, explosions and smoke. At first I thought that the Picnic group was putting on a show, but then I realized that something was wrong, ”Viktor Gusev said on Channel One. “I didn’t see who shot.”

Viktor Gusev added that he and his wife ran into the corridor, but it turned out to be barricaded. Then a Crocus employee explained to people how to get out. “We ran downstairs, apparently bypassing the epicenter of the outbreak, where everything terrible that happened, jumped out into the street and fled,” noted Viktor Gusev.
