Several media outlets are reporting attacks that killed several people in central Paris on Friday evening. The event is still unfolding and the death toll is changing quickly with numbers as high as 36 being reported.
While the reports have not been officially confirmed, the BBC and others have reported that at least one gunman “opened fire at the Cambodge restaurant” in the 11th arrondissement. A BBC reporter on the scene relayed that he or she could “see 10 people on the road either dead or seriously injured.”
The AP is adding that two explosions were heard from the Stade de France, the country’s national stadium, where France was hosting Germany in a soccer match. A clip on Vine shows the moment where the explosion sounds during the match.
