Paris terror attacks, night dripped in blood and fear: 153 dead (pics)

At least 153 people have died in Paris and more than 200 injured after a night of coordinated gun and bomb attacks in the city. Gunmen burst into Bataclan concert hall taking dozens hostage in a seige that ended – with eighty dead – when security forces stormed the building. Meanwhile, people were shot dead at bars and restaurants in five other sites around the city.

Eight extremist attackers have reportedly been killed. Residents of Paris have been asked to stay indoors and about 1,500 military personnel are being deployed across the city.

Where the attacks took place:

Le Bataclan concert venue on Boulevard Voltaire, one of the best-known music venues in the city. Attackers shot at cafes outside before storming into the panicked audience. When police closed in three attackers detonated suicide vests causing explosions.

Two suicide attacks at Stade de France carried out simultaneously near two of the stadium entrances and a nearby McDonald’s restaurant. Spectators were evacuated from the 80,000-seat volume, many of which were singing the French National anthem as they were evacuated.

Attackers open-fired at Le Belle Equipe, a sidewalk terrace, killing as many as 18 people.

Le Carillon, a bar cafe, was targeted with gunfire

At the Cambodian restaurant, Petit Cambodge, diners thought there were fireworks before realising that they were being shot at and trying to flee.
