Paris terrorist attacks and hostage situation

[Charismatic]

Just realized its a death metal band in that concert hall >_>

Well, at least it was appropriate music.

[Kyreth]

From the live feed- at least one suicide bombing and the hostages are begging police to storm the place as they're systematically killing hostages.

Called it.

The reported 100 hostages inside the Bataclan are being slaughtered one by one with a shotgun for over an hour, according to various reports.

No idea on the credibility of this report, but jesus if so

Ironically, no.

Word is the band got out safely, though the status of their crew is unknown.

Oh wot. I just read the name and assumed

They're asking for a media clampdown, fearing it's just giving the remaining attackers intel about what's going on. At least one gunman was killed near the hostage site, plus at least one suicide bomber.

Read there were 2 explosions outside a soccer stadium where the French President was attending a match

Yeah they happened early. President was evacuated long before all this stuff started coming to light.

Least one guy in there still posting on Facebook, apparently. Hope he gets out alive.

[Churchill]

He hasn't posted in awhile.

[Kyreth]

They're apparently raiding the Bataclan now.

[Mertron]

he has a post 8 minutes ago:

"Alive. Just cuts. Carnage. Dead bodies everywhere."

[Tyrath]

That was over an hour ago. 5:23 PM EST

[Mertron]

my timestamp on bookface must be wonky then

[Tyrath]

Are you from arizona? Recently found out they are the only continental US state that doesnt do daylight savings ;x

[Mertron]

I'm in nj. figured it out: there are two Facebook accounts under that name. One had it an hour ago, the other more recently. If you search his name you'll see what I'm talking about.

Regardless, hope dude is ok.

Reuters is reporting at least one more shooting in the past hour at the Les Halles shopping mall.

Yeah, the "community" one is some fucker trying to take advantage of the situation, it seems. The link I have a few posts back is the correct one.

Bataclan raid apparently over, two attackers dead (one with an automatic rifle, one with explosives), multiple additional fatalities.

[Airenn]

I just caught up on everything. My god. This is terrible, fuuuuuck.
