From across the Atlantic Ocean, it's difficult for Menelik Watson to put himself back in Manchester, United Kingdom.
But after Monday evening's tragic bombing at Manchester Arena, his heart was with his hometown.
"Yesterday, when I got the news, man, I started getting a lot of text messages from over there and it kind of didn't really sink in," he told TMZ. "Then I thought, 'What if someone I knew was there?' You know what I mean? And how would I respond? It's just shocking, man."
As a Manchester native, however, Watson definitely knows how he'd respond, just like the rest of the city in the wake of a tragedy.
