    Paris attacks: 60 reported killed; hostage situation ongoing

    Paris attacks: 60 reported killed - CNN.com

    Paris (CNN)Dozens of people are reported dead after a series of what appear to be coordinated attacks across Paris late Friday. CNN will update this story as information comes in:

    [Latest developments, posted at 6:06 p.m. ET]

    • French President Francois Hollande, in an address to the nation, said he had declared a state of emergency, meaning borders will be closed. "We have to show compassion and solidarity and we also have to show unity and keep our cool. France must be strong and great," he said.

    • The Paris prefecture of police is instructing residents to stay home. The prefecture said via Twitter that people should stay inside "unless there's an absolute necessity."

    • French authorities have launched a terrorism investigation, Eric Pelletier, a reporter with Le Pariesien, tells CNN Paul Cruickshank. There has been no official claim for responsibility, though ISIS has applauded the attacks on Twitter, Cruickshank reports.

    • "This is an attack not just on Paris, not just on the people on France, but an attack on all humanity and the universal values we share," President Barack Obama said at the White House. He called the attacks an "outrageous attempt to terrorize innocent civilians."

    • At least 60 people have died in the attacks, CNN affiliate BFMTV reported.

    • At least six shootings took place in Paris and three explosions took place at the Stade de France in Saint-Denis late Friday, CNN affiliate BFMTV said. Two or three gunmen entered the Bataclan concert hall while opening fire on law enforcement, BFMTV reported. A source earlier told CNN there were six to eight hostage takers, citing a person they were talking to inside the venue.

    • Paris police tell CNN there were three attacks. Attackers reportedly used AK-47 automatic weapons.

    • CNN's Jim Bittermann, who is based in Paris, reports a producer who is at the Bataclan tells him that police are firing at a rooftop position near the venue.

    • President Francois Hollande was evacuated at halftime of the France-Germany soccer match.

    • Hollande, Prime Minister Manuel Valls and Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve are holding a crisis meeting at the Interior Ministry to address the attacks in Paris and the explosions in Saint-Denis, according to BFMTV.

    • Counterterrorism officials around the United States have convened secure conference calls to try to gather information and to assess whether there is any indication of threats in the U.S, according to two U.S. counterterrorism officials. There is nothing to indicate any threat to U.S. cities so far. Immediate suspicion for the events in Paris falls to so-called returnees -- people who have traveled to Syria and Iraq and have returned, the officials said.

    At least 118 dead in Paris Attacks according to the Deputy Mayor (CNN reports).

    Considering the sites they wreaked havoc, they really aimed for a blood bath.

    Putin was right all along to destroy these vermin in Syria. karon nga gibombahan ni sila ug maayo ni putin, bungkag alampinig ni sila ang ISIS/ISIL/IS whatever. ug tungod kay bungkag alampinig man, daghan ining mga talawang terorista nisagul na sa mga refugees bakwet paingon sa Europe. ug mao ni karon ang resulta...ngano? mao ni gihinganlan ug "blowback"o sa ato pa resbak sa mga terorista kay gi abandonar sila sa ilang mga sponsors. sigeng pabilib ang france nga mamomba sila sa ISIL pero puro lang palabas kay ang tinuod giprotektahan ni sila sa mga coalition forces para lang jud mapilde si Assad. karon nga gitinuod na sila ug pamatay ni Putin ug sa syrian armies, ilang gibalikan ilang mga sponsors, kay way gihimo nga mga lakang aron ma suportahan sila. unsaun man, pwerte naman jud nga pagka bokenga ang west ini ug wa silay mahimo aron ilang mapakgang si putin. bisan unsa nalay mga termino nga ilang gi gamit, moderate rebels, assets, whatever. but putin was strong enough to hold his ground.

    The ISIS were operating on the pretense that they are anti west but in real life were protected...and conducting their criminal ways with impunity.
