The attack has killed several times as many people as the Al Qaeda attack onCharlie Hebdo, whose offices are a seven-minute walk from the Bataclan.
Eyewitnesses have described bodies lying dead in the street in what U.S. officials are already suggesting is another coordinated series of terrorist attacks—the worst in the French capital since the Hebdo shooting, which was followed a day later by an ISIS-inspired shooting at the Hypercasher kosher marketplace on the outskirts of Paris.
The first known attack was on the Petit Cambodge restaurant in Paris's 10th arrondissement.
Almost simultaenously, two suicide bombers attacked outside the Stade de France, just north of Paris, where France and Germany were playing in a soccer match. Hollande was in attendance and safely evacuated. At least three people were reportedly killed and 80,000 evacuated.
All the gunman are reportedly on the loose. It is not known who they are or what terrorist group, if any, they are associated with.
