There have been seven shooting incidents in Paris in what appears to be a co-ordinated attack. At least three terrorists took more than 100 people hostage in a hall where a music concert was being held, with reports suggesting they were randomly killing innocent people. They had time to reload their weapons at least three times during the attack. Five explosions were heard when police stormed the venue. Three terrorists were killed in the assault, and police have taken control of the hall.
Shooting has also been reported in les Halles in the centre of Paris, and in a restaurant by Bastille in rue de Charonne, with "many dead", including children, according to eyewitnesses. Futher incidents have been reported at Le Pompidou and Louvre.
A French police official confirmed there were two suicide attacks and one bombing near Paris' main stadium.
Casualties?
At least 158 people have died, according to city officials, with many more wounded. At least 118 people were killed in the concert hall.
