Paris Attack Kills at Least 120 as France Goes Into Lockdown

At least 120 people were killed in Paris in Europe’s worst terrorist attacks for more than a decade and France tightened border controls and shut down public venues after gunmen targeted hostages at a rock concert and diners at a restaurant.

   President Francois Hollande imposed a state of alert and police advised people to stay indoors. Officials said the attacks, which injured more than 200 people (80 of whom seriously), occurred at seven separate venues, including a sports stadium. Police have reported that eight militants died, seven of them via suicide bombings, according to a report by Agence France-Presse. French police said they couldn’t say how many were still at large. BFM television said security forces were still seeking one gunman.

   As news of the attacks spread across the French capital, people huddled in quiet shock outside bars and cafes as the streets filled with the sound of sirens. Outside the concert venue, local media showed images of bodies shrouded in white sheets lined up on the streets.
