Mass Deaths Reported In Paris, Live-Streaming Coverage
The attacks were reported Friday night in Paris.
An explosion was reported outside of a full soccer stadium where France and Germany were playing a match. French president François Hollande was in attendance and was evacuated, according to multiple reports.
Shootings were reported across the city as well, including one at a cafe and another at a theater, where a hostage situation was reportedly under way.
Reports of the exact number of deaths have varied. CNN was reporting it as high as 60 with the Washington Post, citing French police, reporting 40.
And it comes at a time of extreme tension between ISIS, France and many of the world’s powerful governments.
“We stand prepared and ready to provide whatever assistance the government and the people of France need to respond,” President Barack Obama said from the White House following the attacks.
“I don’t want to speculate who was responsible for this.”
