5:21 PM EST–The band playing at Bataclan Theater tonight, where the hostages are being held, is a Californian band called Eagles of Death Metal. Their new album, the band joked in an interview, was released because their absence from music caused “all sorts of Middle East troubles”:

And we realize that our lack of putting out a record, that absence of Eagles of Death Metal music, had a really negative byproduct. There were all sorts of Middle East troubles and all these other things, so we’re sorry for that. We didn’t wanna cause that by not putting out music, but we figured now that we’re gonna put this stuff out, most of the world should kind of come back together like before. So essentially Zipper Down is the Eagles of Death Metal response to terrorism> Yeah. We put out a record and human rights are better, the world feels better, people make more money, there’s less anger, people are more respectful to women and to homosexuals, and they’re generally nicer each other, they’re kinder to each other, and that’s why we really felt like it was time to let the healing begin.

4:57 PM EST–Sky News reporting that the bar that was attacked is located across the street from the offices of satirical French magazine Charlie Hebdo, which also suffered a mass shooting, that one at the hand of jihadists, in January. A live feed of Sky News here:

One Associated Press journalist who was in the stadium reported hearing “two explosions loud enough to penetrate the sounds of cheering fans,” followed by police sirens and the appearance of a helicopter. News 1130 reported a terrifying situation at the restaurant, with nearly a dozen dead plus multiple injuries, after “attackers apparently stormed the eateries, heavily armed with guns and grenades.” The New York Post writes of a man armed with a Kalashnikov rifle fatally shooting several people and wounding seven others at the restaurant. The NYP also mentions that the German soccer team playing in the stadium was evacuated from its hotel in western Paris this morning after a bomb threat, but returned safely later. The BBC’s report supports the account in the New York Post, adding a report of four deaths from a Parisian newspaper… but adds another report of shootings near the Bataclan arts center, plus the explosion at the bar near the stadium. A BBC journalist reported seeing at least ten people dead or seriously injured at the restaurant. The BBC says French President Francois Hollande was in attendance at the soccer game, but has been evacuated. Late reports have updated the death toll to at least 18. Meanwhile, another crisis was added at a fourth location: a hostage standoff at a theater.
