Grande’s manager Scooter Braun also made a statement following the attack, via Twitter. “Tonight our hearts are broken. Words cannot express our sorrow for the victims and families harmed in this senseless attack,” he says. “We ask all of you to hold the victims, their families, and all of those affected in your hearts and prayers.”
