Paris Shootings: Many Dead In Multiple Attacks

[JSinghnz]

At least 60 people have been killed, with at least 100 more being held hostage and being assassinated one by one, after multiple attacks across Paris in what experts are calling a "night of terror" on a scale never seen before.

"It was a blood bath."

French media is reporting that two terrorists have been killed at the French theatre Le Bataclan, where gunmen killed attendees attending a rock concert by American band Eagles of Death Metal. At least 15 people were shot by the gunman.

French president Francois Hollande declared a state of emergency, and closed the French borders.

He announced an immediate inquiry into what most experts believe is a gross act of terrorism.

"We don't know where they are coming from, or who is striking us," said Mr Hollande. "In such difficult times, I have thoughts for the victims."

He said it was important to show compassion and "keep our cool."

A major French television network said as many as 100 people have died.

French police are telling Parisians to stay indoors, and taxi drivers turned off their meters, offering to drive people home for free.

At the concert hall, Le Bataclan, at least 15 people have died.

An eye witness at the theatre, who was attending a rock concert, said there were at least two terrorists firing at people on the floor.

"Everyone was on the floor with their hands on their heads," he said. "I saw 25 to 30 people lying on the floor," said Julien Pearce, the eye witness.

He saw at least 20 people shot, and said the attackers appeared to be firing randomly at victims.

"It was a blood bath."

Other eye witnesses reported six to eight hostage takers were marauding through the theatre looking for people hiding inside the theatre. Around 10.20am Sydney time, gunshots and the sounds of explosions were heard from inside the theatre.

President Hollande - evacuated after multiple explosions from the Stade de France in the middle of a packed soccer game - immediately launched an inquiry into whether it was a terrorist attack.

In other parts of Paris, dead bodies were covered up.

The attacks occurred across Paris, including:

• Reported suicide bombers outside the Stade de France where more than 70,000 fans were watching a soccer match between France and Germany
• An incident at Les Halles, a modern underground shopping centre next door to the Louvre, where French counter terrorism and hostage unit, GIGN, has been sent.
• Hostage situation in Le Bataclan theatre, where up to as many as 100 people are being held hostage. Hostage takes are still shooting people, but some people have escaped.

Interesting to c,wat the motive behind this was.

Interesting to c,wat the motive behind this was.

Terrorists have only one motive, to terrorise innocents.

[khalsaman1]

Very sad.

It'll be even worse if this has to do with France accepting Syrian refugees. Just gives other nations an excuse not to accept those refugees.

[KhoonKaBadlaKhoon]

Muslims in Europe seem out of control. There is no motive but a hatred for Europeans.

Terrorists have no religion. But you wont understand that.

[mrggg123]

There's quite a lot of hush hush over this. I guess that's wise considering how it went down.

[KhoonKaBadlaKhoon]

Lol lets not fool ourselves, we all know who it is. But one suspect arrested said he is from ISIS, saw a screenshot of a news report.
