A series of attacks took place after 9 p.m. in Paris, concentrated in city’s 10th and 11th Arrondissements.

A lone gunman entered the Cambodian noodle shop Le Petit Cambodge in Paris’s 10th Arrondissement and opened fire, leaving 14 dead. Soon after, in the 11th Arrodissement, a man got out of a car in front of the La Belle Equippe and shot at cafe, killing as many as a dozen people.

There was a series of explosions near Stade de France, the stadium where France and Germany are playing before a crowd of up to 80,000. French President Francois Hollande was evacuated while the game continued. Outside, at least four were killed by three blasts between 9:15 p.m. and 9:40 p.m. local time in a fast-food restaurant, a brasserie and a McDonald’s. Police said at least one explosion was carried out by a suicide bomber.

And there was a hostage-taking at the Bataclan Concert Hall, where the Eagles of Death Metal, a Los Angeles rock band on a European tour, were performing.

Paris police prefect Michel Cadot said the attackers at the Bataclan momentarily left the building to shoot at surrounding cafes then went back in, killing more hostages. He said they blew themselves up as the police closed in on them. According to at least one report, the attackers also threw grenades at the hostages and the police.

Cadot said all the attackers were believed to be dead, although authorities were hunting for any possible accomplices.

Meanwhile, at least one analyst said the police may have waited too long.

Two hours later, President Hollande spoke outside Bataclan, saying the government would be “merciless” against the perpetrators of the attacks, which he said were an “abomination” and “barbarism.”

Following a meeting with his Cabinet, President Francois Hollande speaks to the nation again, now pinning the blame on ISIS and saying the attacks were an act of war. Shortly before that, ISIS had reportedly claimed responsibility, though some question the statement's origins.
