Paris Soccer Stadium Attacked: About 150 People Dead, French President Francois Hollande Among Crowd Evacuated

While a friendly soccer game between France and Germany was ongoing at the Stade de France on Friday night, a series of attacks and explosions rocked Paris killing more than a hundred people.

Washington Times said French President Francois Hollande, who was watching the soccer game, was evacuated from the venue and had an emergency meeting to address the violence that erupted in the French capital.

According to Telegraph, a spectator in the stadium shared that she heard two bangs during the game which were "enormous.

"I thought it was coming from inside the stadium but someone told me later that they were grenades thrown outside at a restaurant. Everybody in the stadium was stunned. The match was continuing but people have been told that they will not be able to leave the stadium immediately," said a woman only identified by Telegraph as Alicia.

This was not the only violent incident in Paris as multiple locations was also rocked by attacks leading to the deaths of more than a hundred people.

An update by CNN, suicide bombers armed with AK-47s "attacked sites throughout the French capital and at the stadium."

Street shooting at the Le Petit Cambodge led to the death of 14 people while the attack at the Bataclan concert hall recorded 112 dead.

"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," said journalist Julien Pearce in the CNN report.

He added that he heard the attackers talk about Iraq and Syria while some of the them were also speaking in the local language

"Two men dressed in black started shooting and after wounded people fell to the floor, the gunmen shot them again, execution-style," added Pearce.

The Guardian noted that all eight attackers died during the bloody incidents: four in Bataclan, three at the Stade de France and one at Voltaire boulevard.

Shootings and explosions were reported in six locations across the city, including the Stade de France in northern Paris, where two suicide attacks and a bombing took place as the national team played Germany in a friendly football match.

Hollande abhored the hostilities in his country. "We are going to lead a war which will be pitiless. Because when terrorists are capable of committing such atrocities they must be certain that they are facing a determined France, a united France, a France that is together and does not let itself be moved, even if today we express infinite sorrow," the French President said in The Guardian report.
