Narrative:

We were about 20 miles prior to TOD on arrival landing south with ZZZ center; clearance pd to FL240 all systems normal. Captain pm; first officer PF.felt a vibration and noticed engine 2 roll back N1 to about 50% accompanied by engine 2 stall ECAM which directed us to turn on engine ignition. After ignition selected on; N1 returned to normal cruise setting but was accompanied by N2 vibration of about 4.5 units.ECAM complete; QRH referenced for engine stall. That checklist directed us to bring thrust lever on affected engine to idle and check engine indications. If abnormal; it directs to shut the engine off.when thrust lever was brought to idle; engine 2 again stalled accompanied by N2 vibration of about 9.9 units. With engine stalled and apparent damage; we continued to shut down engine 2.at this point; a position flight attendant called and advised vibrations felt and flames observed exiting engine 2 tail pipe. I told him we were aware and working on it and would call him back. As we ran ECAM to shut down engine 2; we began our descent to FL240. Remaining engine able to maintain managed speed. Once engine 2 secured and APU started; we re with center. They cleared us to descend landing south. Called a position flight attendant and gave him NTSB with 20 minutes remaining and no brace command.
