At least one of the attackers outside Stade de France in Paris on Friday evening tried to enter the stadium with a ticket, according to the Wall Street Journal.

The Journal cited a security guard who asked to be identified by only his first name, Zouheir, and French police.

Two explosions were heard inside the stadium during a soccer friendly between France and Germany.

The security guard told the Journal that explosives were found on the attacker trying to enter the stadium about 15 minutes after the game had started. The security guard said he was stationed by the players' tunnel and was briefed on the events.

The security guard said the attacker backed away from the gates and detonated the explosives that were worn on a vest. The sequence was confirmed by an unnamed police officer, according to the Journal.

Several minutes later a second attacker also detonated explosives outside the stadium, and third person blew himself up at a nearby McDonald's, police said.

One civilian died in the attacks, according to police. In all, at least 129 people were killed in terror attacks around Paris.

French President Francois Hollande attended the game and was ushered out of the stadium following the explosions
