"" At least 46 people were killed late Friday after
gunmen opened fire at three locations in
central Paris and fled in a car. They later took
around 100 people hostage in a concert
hall, police said.
At about the same time, two explosions
were heard at or near the the Stade de France,
the national stadium, where Germany and
France were holding a soccer match, the
Associated Press reports. It was not
immediately clear if the two events were
related.
According to the Associated Press, a police
official said 11 people were killed in a Paris
restaurant in the 10th arrondissement, and
about 35 killed in the Bataclan theatre, where
a hostage-taking is under way.
The newspaper Liberation said officials
speaking over a loudspeaker at the stadium
asked the crowd to evacuated calmly. French
President Francois Hollande was at the game
at the time and left to deal with the crisis.
Police said at least 35 people were killed in
the multiple attacks, the Associated Press
reported.
The shootings occurred in the adjoining 10th
and 11th districts on the right bank of the
Seine in central Paris outside the restaurant Le
Petit Cambodia and the bar Le Carillon.
The French newspaper Liberation quotes a
witness as saying two armed men got out of a
car parked in the street and began firing. They
then jumped back into the vehicle and fled.
Vincent Berthezene, a production assistant for
France2 TV tweeted that shots from a
Kalashnikov were fired from a car. "Bodies are
on the ground," he writes.
A few minutes later, gunfire broke out near
the Bataclan Boulevard Voltaire, southeast of
the initial incident, as hostages were taken at
the Bataclan concert hall.""
