According to CNN, the death toll at the Eagles Of Death Metal concert in Paris tonight has reached 112. Overall 153 have been killed in attacks tonight (November 13th).
A journalist who was at a concert at the Bataclan concert venue and escaped after the shooting started told CNN: "We lied down on the floor not to get hurt. It was a huge panic. The terrorists shot at us for 10 to 15 minutes. It was a bloodbath." Julien Pearce didn't hear the attackers speak, but he said one friend who escaped heard them talk about Iraq and Syria. Later, he said the men were speaking French.
BFMTV reports that SWAT units stormed Bataclan and that the siege was over. Two attackers were killed, a police union said. Police brought out at least 100 hostages from the concert hall, a CNN producer said; some appear to be wounded. President Francois Hollande Francois told reporters outside Bataclan that "terrorists capable of carrying out such atrocities must know that they will face a France that is determined and united."
At least 153 people were killed in the Paris and Saint-Denis shootings and bombings, French officials said.
