UPDATES BELOW THE FOLD.
Less than a year following the horrific Charlie Hebdo terrorist attack, Paris, France is once again under siege from what looks like a planned, coordinated attack. Here’s what we know thus far:
- At least 35 people have reportedly been killed in multiple locations.
- One hundred hostages have been taken in a nearby “concert hall,” which is better described as a rock-concert club.
- French President Hollande was in attendance at the soccer game where one of the attacks occurred.
- At least 25 shots were heard at an area restaurant.
- At least three explosions and six shootings occurred throughout the city.
- Grenades were reportedly used.
- Multiple gunmen are involved, and at least some reportedly still at large.
- Attackers used “semiautomatic weapons and bullet-proof vests.”
- At least one of the attackers used a suicide vest inside the restaurant, likely including the stadium.
- One of the attackers inside the concert hall screamed, in French, “This is for Syria!”
- A fourth shooting is being reported at an area shopping mall. It’s unclear if the shooting is related.
- Shooting and explosions were heard at at least three separate locations throughout Paris:
