Night of terror in Paris
More than 100 people have been killed in multiple terrorist attacks across Paris. World leaders have condemned the violence, expressing their shock and offering solidarity to the French people.
Coordinated attacks
Police say groups of attackers targeted up to seven different locations across Paris, including a football stadium, a shopping mall, the Bataclan concert hall and restaurants. Authorities say they expect the death toll from the attacks to rise.
Fear and panic
Wounded people were evacuated from the area outside the Bataclan theater, where suspected jihadists killed at least 100 people in a hostage situation.
Scene of carnage
Police surrounded the Bataclan, ending the hostage situation at around 1:00 a.m. local time. Witnesses said gunmen shouted "Allahu akbar" as they stormed into the venue and fired methodically at hundreds of concert-goers.
Stadium targeted
In the north of the city, at least five people were killed in three explosions near the Stade de France national stadium where France were playing Germany in an international football match. Spectators were let out in small groups as a security precaution.
President in shock
French President Francois Hollande was in the stadium when news of the attacks broke. In a brief address to the nation, he declared a state of emergency across France and said the borders had been sealed.
Boosted security
An extra 1,500 soldiers were mobilized to reinforce police in Paris. Authorities have said they believe all attackers involved in the shootings and bombings are dead.
