They just said in sky the restaurant shooters have got away.

DolphinsPlayground · 13/11/2015 22:14

And the number has gone up to 40. Horrific.

DolphinsPlayground · 13/11/2015 22:15

Why are the US saying it is coordinated by put the French are saying it is too early to say that?

Hopelass · 13/11/2015 22:16

Oooof that was scary, all ok for them, DP has spoken to his bro. What an awful business Sad

OhYouBadBadKitten · 13/11/2015 22:16

its pretty obvious it is coordinated, but its important not to jump to conclusions yet.

OhYouBadBadKitten · 13/11/2015 22:17

thank goodness hopelass - im glad for you.

TheFairyCaravan · 13/11/2015 22:20

It's just awful.

It's too early to know the extent of it, or what exactly has happened, yet.

Hopelass · 13/11/2015 22:20

Thank you OYBBK having a glimpse of that really makes me feel for those who don't yet know if their loved ones are ok and even more so for those whose friends and family are the victims. Just awful.

DolphinsPlayground · 13/11/2015 22:23

Glad they are ok hopelass

Tortoise · 13/11/2015 22:25

Such awful sad news. Feel for everyone involved. Sad

SwedishEdith · 13/11/2015 22:27

I assume the restaurant shooters have got away because it was a drive-by shooting.

Oh! I thought they had walked in. My mistake.

SwedishEdith · 13/11/2015 22:39

That's what I heard - everything's a bit muddled atm so I might have got that wrong.

They say 2 explosions near the stade de France and up to 100 hostages at a theatre. It's understandably all over confused. Poor people

Yarpyarp · 13/11/2015 22:41

Horrific

SideOrderofChips · 13/11/2015 22:51

Im wondering if this is a retaliation for Jihad John being killed (well they are 99%) sure

riceonabicycle · 13/11/2015 22:57

French state of emergency declared.

riceonabicycle · 13/11/2015 22:59

They're closing all French borders.

VikingVolva · 13/11/2015 23:01

They couldn't have arranged simultaneous attacks of this kind in the hours since the drone strike in JJ. Though if they had a plan ready to go, they might have been waiting for a good pretext to start it off.

SKY is reporting at least 6 shooting incidents, French press reports saying 40 dead and 60 injured. Ongoing hostage incident at a club (music venue). Some mention of an incident at Les Halles (not hugely clear). France has closed its borders, police (and military?) mobilised, emergency curfews/cordons in place. Parisians being told to stay at home.

riceonabicycle · 13/11/2015 23:03

There's just been another shooting incident, it's like the police are chasing them around the city.

SideOrderofChips · 13/11/2015 23:03

Like you say, if they had a plan ready for something like this and its a good excuse. Its only going to increase the racism and also the misguided blame on refugees. Its a horrible world at the moment.

DolphinsPlayground · 13/11/2015 23:05

So bar, stadium, concert. Possibly les hLles? Louvre? God, so scary.

Dontlaugh · 13/11/2015 23:05

The killers stated "Allahu akhbar" as they walked away from the scene. The army has been mobilised. There are at least 60 dead, according to media reports.
What. On. Earth. Is. Going. On. in this world.

SwedishEdith · 13/11/2015 23:07

I think it's too coordinated to be retaliation. I've just realised it's Friday 13th - terrorists seem to like significant/memorable dates.

riceonabicycle · 13/11/2015 23:09

I think it's more than one bar now?

I don't understand, I just don't understand.

Assuming this is ISIL I don't think this has anything to do with JJ today, this number of attacks would take months to plan.
