At least 18 are dead after a series of explosions and shootings. There have been at least 4 separate, but coordinated incidents.

CNN also just announced that there are also 60 hostages being held in a theater.

Update: More than 128 dead. We got a new rating. Basically, everything went fucky.

if we can keep immigration chatter to the migrant thread and islams chatter to the islam thread I'd be much obliged.

Like with School shootings use this thread to discuss the event itself and the media around it.
 
Here is France TV English feed:

Just heard a dismembered body found at stadium where France v Germany playing. Now saying 30 dead. Hostages at a club where Eagles of Death Metal were playing.

Sounds like grenades were used, clip on Twitter from soccer broadcast has one of the explosions.

3 possible shooting locations. Near Charlie Hebdo offices, but they weren't involved.
 
Skynews is reporting at least 15 people dead at the Concert Hall itself.

Some twitter shit from the feeds I've caught flying by:
"Eyewitness inside Paris concert hall reports 6 to 8 attackers"
"U.S. security officials believe Paris attacks were coordinated" - Reuters
"Deputy Paris mayor Patrick Klugman tells @CNN "it looks like terror attack" and "it could be the worst ever in Paris.""

It's a few blocks from where I live... I was at a friend's and I can't go home, the entire neighbourhood is pretty much a war zone.

They targeted streets where there are a lot of open-air cafés. Those were packed since it's Friday night and the weather is mild. Apparently, some motorists sped down avenues like Boulevard Voltaire and fired at people in the cafés and restaurants.

There is also a major crisis ongoing at the Bataclan, which is a popular entertainment venue, and there might be a hostage situation.
There are a lot of contradictory reports and figures right now, AFP just denied the 35-dead figure, police aren't giving much info but some gunmen are still on the loose.

There's not much reliable info, the whole city is in chaos right now.

Jesus! Stay safe. War zone is accurate. Get somewhere safe and hunker down. I am watching SkyTV Live and France24. I will keep updating with anything significant.
