• Explosions and shootings in Paris
• Police speak of 35 people dead and many more who are injured
• About 100 people are being held hostage at a concert venue (Bataclan)
• There’s no information on the killers yet, they are still at large
• Parisians: stay inside or find shelter if you’re still outside. (use the #PORTEOUVERTE hashtag to find shelters!!)
• Police know nothing of the killers, the French media is making references to Charlie Hebdo but nothing is confirmed yet.
• They have just spoken of another explosion near the stadium and another shooting in a shopping mall (location??). This is not validated by police, but please stay safe. 
• People are now being allowed to leave the stadium of Stade the France. 
• There is a lot of chaos right now but try to stay calm and keep breathing, my thoughts are with all those in Paris right now <3

This is all I know unfortunately I will try to add on to this as I get more information.

BBC is now reporting that President Hollande has declared a state of emergency and the closure of France’s borders. At least 40 people killed. The hostage-crisis is still ongoing.
