This is extremely sad and heart breaking! It is just sad. A state of emergency has been declared across France after attacks on restaurants, a concert hall and a sports stadium in Paris killed at least 120 people, sowing widespread fear.
Four gunmen killed up to 80 young people attending a rock concert at the Bataclan music hall on Friday evening.
Heavily armed policemen eventually launched an assault on the building, then the gunmen detonated explosive belts and dozens of shocked survivors were rescued. The attackers were killed at the site and a manhunt is under way as a number of armed men are believed to be at large.
About 40 more people were killed in five other attacks in the Paris region, officials said, including an apparent double suicide bombing outside the national stadium Stade de France.
President Francois Hollande and the German foreign minister were watching a friendly football match between France and Germany there when the attacks occurred. Some 200 people were injured.
The coordinated assault came as France, a member of the US-led coalition waging air strikes against Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) fighters in Syria and Iraq, was on high alert for attacks.
There has been no claim of responsibility as of yet.
