Terror In Paris: How The Attacks Unfolded

More than 120 people were killed in a series of attacks across the French capital.

This is how the events unfolded at six locations in Paris:


Around 9.20pm local time on Friday, there were reports of a shooting at a restaurant on Rue Alibert in the 10th district.

At least 14 people were later confirmed dead in the rampage at Le Carillon, a bar-cafe, and the nearby Cambodian restaurant Le Petit Cambodge.


Witnesses said gunmen armed with Kalashnikov assault rifles fired at victims through the plate-glass windows.

About five miles away from those attacks, blasts were heard near the stadium in the north of Paris around 9.30pm.

Police later confirmed there were three simultaneous bombings, including two suicide attacks, near the stadium as France played Germany in a friendly match.

French President Francois Hollande, who was at the game, left immediately.

A prosecutor said people there had been fatalities, but did not confirm the number. A police union official said three people had died.

The blasts occurred near two of the stadium entrances and at a nearby McDonald's restaurant.

At least 18 diners sitting on outdoor terraces at La Belle Equipe in the popular Charonne area were shot dead at around 9.50pm.

Emergency workers covered bodies on the pavement outside the traditional Parisian cafe.

Police appeared to be still searching for suspects later.


Shortly afterwards, reports emerged that the popular music venue on Boulevard Voltaire in the nearby 11th arrondissement was under attack - less than a mile from Le Belle Equipe.


Early reports suggested 15 people had been shot dead in the concert hall, where American band Eagles of Death Metal was due to play.

Dozens of hostages were taken inside the venue.

A short time later, security forces launched an assault on the theatre. The two attackers were killed after detonating explosive belts.

It now appears more than 80 concert-goers were killed in the venue. Initial reports suggested 120 people were killed.

Several people inside the venue survived the massacre. The band was also confirmed as safe.

One person was also killed on Boulevard Voltaire, not far from the venue.


Five people were killed in La Casa Nostra pizzeria on Rue de la Fontaine au Roi in the 11th arrondissement.

Witnesses reported seeing a man firing a machine gun.


Eight extremists involved in the attacks have been killed, the prosecutor  said.

Seven died in suicide bombings, while the other was killed in the concert hall.

No terror group has claimed responsibility, but Mr Hollande says it was an "act of war" by the extremist group Islamic State.

Some witnesses in the hall said they heard the gunmen shout Islamic chants and slogans condemning France's role in Syria.

During a televised address amid the attacks, the French President, without naming any group, said: "We know where these attacks come from. There are indeed good reasons to be afraid."

Visiting the Bataclan theatre in the early hours of Saturday, Mr Hollande said France will be "merciless" against those responsible.
