Multiple acts of violence have taken place in Paris in six separate locations, killing 130 people.

As many as 118 people were massacred in one single incident, where hostages were taken at a heavy metal rock concert in the Bataclan theatre. Eye witnesses described how the gunmen, who were later shot dead by French police, slaughtered their victims ‘one-by-one’.


French President Francois Hollande blamed Islamic State for the attacks, saying: ‘What happened yesterday is an act of war, and the nation must take appropriate decisions in response.’

Three days of national mourning has been declared as Hollande said the amount of people confirmed dead had hit 127.

Police say the violence started when 11 people were killed with several injured after a man opened fire at Cambodian restaurant, the Cambodge restaurant in Paris’ 11th district.



Shortly afterwards a second shooting at a nightclub was reported, followed by two suicide bombers reportedly blowing themselves up at the Stade de France sports stadium where French president Francois Hollande was watching the France v Germany football match.
