Dozens Dead In Paris Shootings And Blasts
At least 30 people have been killed and around 100 others are being held hostage following a series of attacks in Paris on Friday night
Police say there have been multiple shootings and two explosions across the French capital
One of the shootings took place at the Bataclan theatre in the 11th arrondissement, where police say around 100 people are still being held hostage.
Witnesses at the theatre have reported seeing two armed men enter the building and open fire.
In the 10th arrondissement - not far from the offices of magazine publisher Charlie Hebdo - police say 11 people were killed near a restaurant.
Witnesses have described seeing bodies lying in the streets. According to local media reports, the gunmen have not been caught.
Elsewhere in the capital, several explosions were heard near the Stade de France, where the national football team was playing Germany.
President Francois Hollande was inside the stadium at the time, but has since been rushed to the Interior Ministry to deal with the unfolding situation.
An Associated Press reporter who was at the stadium has recounted hearing two explosions that were loud enough to penetrate the sound of cheering fans.
Those at the stadium can be seen rushing onto the pitch after hearing the explosions.
US security officials believe the attacks were coordinated.
