Some of the 22 victims were identified Tuesday.

Fifty-nine others, many of them under 16, were injured. A vigil was scheduled later in the evening.

The house where British police performed a controlled explosion as part of their investigation into the concert blast in Manchester is in an ethnically mixed suburb in the city.

Police raided a modest red brick semi-detached house in Fallowfield in south Manchester on Tuesday, and forensics officers were coming and going into the house. Neighbors said they had heard the bomber lived there, but most said they knew little about the inhabitants of the house, except that several people lived in it.

Neighbor Natalie Daley said she was frightened by a loud bang on Tuesday afternoon, then police yelling "get in your houses — get away from the windows!"

She said she was shaken by how close to home it was. She said: "When it's like two seconds from your house, when you walk past it every day, you do live in fear."

Police on Tuesday also raided another residential road, and arrested a 23-year-old man at a third location in Manchester.

The U.N. Security Council has condemned "the atrocious terrorist attack" in Manchester "perpetrated against young innocent people."
