Explosions and shootings in Paris

[BadPinkTink]

SKY NEWS reporting ANOTHER shooting at a shopping centre, so now FOUR LOCATIONS, approx 60 dead in multiple locations


Sky News saying these 3 locations were targeted due to the large numbers of people at these locations.

The soccer match was a friendly between France and Germany, attended by the President of France
The Korean restaurant is a very popular late night area
A concert was on at Paris Bataclan

It's being reported..35-60 dead, 100 hostages.

I understand speculation at this point but you have no basis that it had anything to do with Syrian refugees. 99% of refugees are trying to get away from the very same things.

There has been a claim, that "this is for Syria".

SKY NEWS reporting possible shootings near The Louvre and Pompadour Centre

France has the highest percentage of Muslims of any country in Europe. You'd think the radicals would choose a different country to attack - unless it's just a matter of logistical convenience.

Horrible....horrible...

They mentioned that an "American Band" was playing to a sold out crowd and not sure if it was bombed or what.

Borders have been closed?

Prayers for the people of France. Prayers for their military and police in bringing a swift end to this. Prayers for people to be strong.

The band that was playing at Paris Bataclan concert hall is called Eagles of Death Metal https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eagles_of_Death_Metal

100 hostages at being held there with 15 dead, and police are reporting that the gunman inside the concert hall has explosives

Borders have been closed?

Yes, closed.

Horrific. Prayers for France and for all the victims and their families.

Terrifying, and it wasn't that long ago that there was the other terrorist shooting in France at the Jewish market.

 

[BadPinkTink]

40 dead, 60 injured, central Pars basically shut down, with everyone being told to stay off the streets.

Borders have been closed?

Yes, closed.

What this means is that the Schengen Agreement of free movement has been stopped. I have been to France and with the Schengen Agreement of free movement there are no borders, no passport checks when you enter France. What The President of France means when he says the borders are closed, is that passports will now be checked before anyone enters France. He will put Military on the roads, who will stop all traffic and check passports. Genuine tourists and French citizens will still be able to enter France

How could this happen? Don't they have strict gun control in France?
