Paris attacks

[DanaC]

France’s president, François Hollande, has declared a state of emergency and shut the country’s borders after at least 49 peopledied and up to 60 were injured in an apparently coordinated series of gun and suicide bomb attacks in Paris.

The death toll appeared likely to rise, with automatic gunfire heard in the early hours of Saturday as armed police stormed a concert theatre where gunmen had taken up to 100 people hostage after opening fire.

Things are moving fast, so this is likely out of date already.

This feels horribly close to home. I feel for the parisians tonight.
