Narrative:
St louis lambert tower cleared us for takeoff. With 3 passenger aboard and 3 crew members, we taxied on the runway with all gauges showing normal indication. The captain advanced the power to the required maximum setting, everything came up normal till about 60 knots, and before V1 a loud 'pop' was heard followed by engine oil lights on the right engine, the first officer called abort as the captain pulled off power and rolled off the runway onto a taxiway. Tower asked if we needed assistance and the first officer responded 'yes' for safety reasons. At that time the flight attendant came forward to notify there was a fire. The captain then armed the extinguisher by pulling the fire handle but did not fire the extinguisher due to no visual signs of fire from the first officer or no indication of fire on the warning panel. The flight attendant had started evacuate/evacuation at this time, both engines had been shut down then. It was found later by mechanics that something (metal) had been ingested into the engine (not confirmed).
