Now as the attacks happened, tonight u2 was rehearting for tomorrows nights concert on hbo. The entire band and crew were taken back to the their hotel where they went to a private entrance and held under ground until that location was secure. They are canceling saturday nights concert. We want to go now to a man who witnessed the horror of that concert hall. He escaped the terror and he now joins us by telephone. Julian, why dont you tell us what you saw . The show was running for 40 or 45 minutes and the band was playing on stage and the crowd was huge. I mean the concert hall was full and the venue was sold out. So there were about 1,000 people inside the concert hall where the first gun fires we heard at first we didnt know if it was actually gunshots. I was in front of the stage, so when i looked back, i saw twoor three men wearing black clothing and masks and holding i thought ak47 rifles. What was the crowd doing at this moment . Just singing. Just dancing. To the music. We were having a wonderful time. We were just enjoying the music. So the moment of terror just happened like lightning and so when i looked back, i saw these three men shootingt us. Rifles so not just one gunshot, they were juststnloading the guns into us. Were they saying anything as ey fired into the crcrd . I couldnt tell, but as the gunshots started, the people began to yell. So we all lied on the floor and many people tried to walk on the bodies to try to escape the bullets. And we know you made your way out over the stage and helped who you could. Julien pierson, thank you for sharing your account with us. Sam champion, our colleague and friend from the Weather Channel was in paris for a weather conference. Tell us what it was like on the streets of paris tonight. Reporter before i do that, i want to tell you that on the other side of the ark of triage, there is an Armed Tactical Team on the other side. With one black van, a couple of officers with automatic rifles standing guard between two buildings and virtually half a block away, theres a group of people huddled around a bus stop, unable to get a bus stop, unable to get anywhere. When we last talked to you, we went on a tour across the city, we left this area, went across the senge. Our studio for to the 24hour broadcast, the eiffel tower began nlack to honor those who were killed in the Mass Shootings and the entire area oh, so quiet. I want to choose the words carefully just to tell you that there are very the few cars that moved through, earlier in the evening, there would be clusters of emergency vehicles going through town, the only vehicles going through town with flashing lights on them. There are a few lights on in paris, i is still very early in the morning now, but some people seemingly unable to sleep, streets s ry quiet. But i just wanted to tell you what it was s ke to come around and see automatic weapons on o o corner of a building inging and people huddled under r bus stop trying to get home. President obama quick to condemn the paris attacks, Kelley Odonnell is standing by at the white house. President obama is still at the white house tonight and he moved quickly to speak to the nation saying there were still many facts that were not known, friendship, and condolences to the parisian people. We have seen attempts to terrorize inept civilians. This is an attack not just on paris, not just on the people of france, but this is an attack on all of humanity and the universal values that we share. We stand prepared and ready to provide whatever the people of france need to respond. France is our oldest ally. The french people have stood shoulder to shoulder with the United States time and again. And we want to make it similar clear that we stand next to them against terrorism and extreme. Are values that we share. And those values are going to endure far beyond any act of terrorism or the hateful vision of those who perpetrated the crime this is evening. Reporter and tonight Officials Say the president does plan to keep his travel ov to turkey tomorrow, he would be leaving tomorrow afternoon. So no change in his schedule just yet, and tonight Homeland SecurityOfficials Say they are in touch with their counterparts in france, theyre talk to local and state law enforcemenaround the country, but so far no Credible Threats inside the u. S. , theyre reaching out to Law Enforcement but so far no indication of that. The president is due to visit paris later this month when ththe will be a Climate Summit andreaw Andrew Mitchell is with us, obviously a very coorder that itted and very official attack, and that leads to the obvious question, why wasnt there any intelligence on that attack. Thats a good question, france supposedly has very good intelligence. The fact is there was this no warning of this. Theyre going back to the Counter Terrorism center to see if they missed something, was this some type of electronic code threat that they did not pick up. The fact is they didnt see anything coming and this is very concerning to the american intelligence and to the president. He said that the president said that they were in response mode and he did not want to slow them down or interfere, but were getting a lot of informs from the press. Student there when these attacks played out. Im just around the corner from the theater. And what did you see and hear tonight . So it started, i cant even remember what time it was local time, but i was just following a game on twilttter, and then i heard an explosion, and then i hard sirens, which i never hear and then maybe ten minutes later, i heard fen major explosions. Obviously there was still a lot of sirens and as i read online, i read that they were going to go in and free the hostages and then about 250 people came rushing into my courtyard led by the police and the door was slammed shut and they just stayed there for about three or four hours. T tse are people that came from the theater . It seems more than lilily becaususof the explosion followed by all of these peoeoe coming, bubui can cant say thatat for 100 certainty. Did you realize the entire e city was under siege . Actually i have a couple of friends that was on their way towards my place to just hang out for the night and they said they were hearing things across all parts of the city and basically they were stuck where closer, and out in my courtyard, its blocked on both sides, the military full armed, huge guns, things like that. Amend there was a Triage Center set up between where i am and the theater. I dont know if you were there in january for the Charlie Abdul attacks. I was not in paris at the time of the Charlie Hebdo attacks. That made me a little uneasy, but i have faith in everybody and thought everything would be okay. At of people have been calling wanting to talk to me, with but at the end of the day, because theres hundreds of people lost. So thats the thing to focus on in a moment like this. I want to continue our discussions now in our intelligence. Pete williams is also watching all of this play out. Pete to the extent that everyone was caught by surprise, whats going on right now at the highest levels of u. S. Intelligence to make sure that the u. S. Homeland is under no credible net. But some City Police Departments have stepped up their street patrols. New york city probably responded first, sending out a new York State Police say theyre stepping up their presence at public gathering. Police chiefs across the country are telling their officers be extra vigilant and many concert halls and sportses arenas tonight say theyre adding extra security tonight. Theyre calling this a sophisticate attack thats never been seen before 68 but there was similar attacks in moscow. They obviously communicated with each other, there were multiple sites so this was coordinated and they had some advanced weapons, which is not that common because of their gun laws there. So they had to communicate there is such good surveillance on cell phones and such Good Communications by the intelligence gathserring in europe, especially in france, especially in Great Britain and in the United States so they may have been communicated evie kwa were going to have much more on this special edition of date line richard.

Switch to Cricket Wireless guest pc does what . through the door pc does amazingly thin designs. Were back our special date line coverage of the attacks in paris. A journalist with france 24. She was at a restaurant when people were getting shot. Describe what you saw in that restaurant. Reporter i was in the restaurant with my friend and all of a sudden we heard these huge gunshots, loud explosions and everybody jumped to the floor in confusion and panic. I was lying on the floor and i looked up for a minute and i saw small gunshots coming through the window and people were lying down. I wasnt aware that anybody had been fatality wounded and i looked at the woman next to me and she had been shot in the test, and i wasnt sure she was breathing. We stayed in the restaurant for a while. Im sure until we thought it was going to be safe to leave. As soon as we thought we would quick get away. I live 15 minutes away and so we ran to get to my flat. They didnt come inside the restaurant. It seemed to be a drive by, although it also seemed that they stopped and reloaded their guns and fired another round, and so we were unsure whether it was over or not. And generally there was a feeling of terror. And then when it was over and you made your way out of the restaurant, can you give us a sense for the magnitude of what you saw . I dont think to the impact really hit us initially and what was really strange was that nowhere else was anybody aware of what had just taken place. Literally just a number of, you know, blocks down, people been a shooting, we were running out screaming, crying, and people in all the neighboring cafes and clubs and bars didnt have any idea. But it wasnt surprising to me when i heard later reports that it was a coordinated attack because to me personally, the feeling i had was exactly to the feeling i had during the Charlie Hebdo attacks, that it was something larger, something more sinister. Youre a journalist, but to be it in, to witness it pore yourself, how are you processing emotionally what youve been through. Its funny you ask that, because im not sure i am processing it emotion lyly. I think its very matter of fact to me. I think thats normal. Thats the way my friend who was with me felt. Its like it wasnt real, it wasnt happened. Its the kind of thing that happens in films. Its the kind of thing i watch and i write about all the time and its not something is that you ever factor coming into your world. You mentioned this Charlie Hebdo attack, less than a year ago, and now this. Paris is a exampling, wonderful city that so many people know and enjoy. But to watch this, what is this doing, do you think to the collective psyche of the people who call paris home right now . I think with my knowledge of with what i went through, what the city went through during Charlie Hebdo, i think it gives people a stronger sense of identity and a stronger sense of what it means to be alive, what it means to be with your loved ones, thats definitely how i feel. Expat living in paris, i think that it makes people cherish their city more and want it to be protected and want the people to be united, thats what i think. To witness what you witnessed about the siege at the concert hall. What did you feel when you heard that . I felt like i had been punched in the stomach, because i felt like we were so lucky, i felt like it was too good to be true, in a strange sense that we got out and we were fine, completely unscathed, a tiny piece of glass hit me in the face and i wasnt aware of how many people died in the restaurant. And i thought this is crazy, the number of people that were injured. When i heard about the hostage situation, i suddenly thought that this is so gruesome and i cant imagine the fear that that must have brought to the people being held hostage in there for an hour. Charlotte, you have been through a lot and we appreciate you taking the time and sharing your account with us. Thank you so much.

Darkness in the city of lightses tonight. Reports of 140 people dead and more than 100 wounded. The head of the paris police said all the attackers are now believed to be dead. This was the scene tonight. Paris was under attack friday, terror struck at multiple e locations. Gun fire, hostages, more than 100 People Killed. At another site. More gun fire. It began after dark. 80,000 people were watching a game between france and germany when multiple explosions were heard outside. One of those spectateors was the president himself. Gunmen stormed inside and started shooting anyone in sight. At least 11 were reported killed. Nearby bars and restaurants were evacuated. Signed vans and dozens and dozens of firefighters who were closing off the road. You heard somebody got shot, then you hear there were five or six shots that went off. Then there was a dozen shots from an ak47 rifle and that the gunman was still on the loose. And more carnage, an American Band was playing when a dozen gun men opened fire into the audience. Some escaped, but those left behind were left at the mercy of the gunmen. The siege ended when police stormed the theater. There had been at least seven attacks in total around the city. Police ordered people to stay indoors. The french president who had within whisked from the stadium ordered a state of emergency and closed the borders. Theres been no claim of responsibility yet of the death and destruction carried out in paris this morning. Richard, there was a time that Something Like this happened, the first name that would come off peoples tongues, al qaeda, lately with we talk about isis. Any signatures here to point one way or the other . Reporter well you have competing signatures, and i think its important to think of this not as a series of coordinated attacks, but one attack. This was a military style commando attack. And the first bombing, the series of bombings at the stadium, not coincidentally, one of the most important soccer games of the year, broadcast life on national television, the french president inside. That kind of attack would draw a lot of attention. It would draw first responders, it would draw police, Security Services, then a second or even third or fourth team carried out the much more deadly phase of the attack, opening fire at restaurants at nearby bars and then the hostage and massacre in the concert hall. So a that leafs the question, who can do this kind of attack, you have to stockpile the weapons, you have to organize a team, you have to have people it suggests who have military experience. And one senior terrorism official i spoke to says its likely in his assessment al qaeda or an al qaeda affiliate. They are familiar with grnd attacks on an International Al qaeda hasnt been doing much since the overshadowing of isis. And isis and al qaeda fight for the recruiting of attackers. If it were isis, u. S. Counter terrorism Officials Say it would be a new kind of isis, it would be an isis that is now truly international. An isis that is more dangerous, an isis that has more recently attacks in what i route on thursday. An isis that carried out an attack on a russian airplane. It would be significantly different out of their area of things about the u. S. Foreign it would say the u. S. War on isis, the u. S. Strategy on isis doesnt now seem to be working. Let me bring in the editor of defense, the french president already vowing to retaliate against whoever did this, thats easier said than done in a world where its not necessarily staid actsor actsors. The u. S. And france has been working together on this fight that stretches from nigeria to the indian ocean. This is an enormous terrorism effort and how to fight on this attack when were not sure who actually conducted the attack is a strong statement. Lets look at this a little farther back in terms of the United States and what things might have been missed here and how vulnerable we might be. Looking at the weapons, reports of grenades and the sort of things used tonight. Would that be more difficult for a group to use in this country . Reporter this in country the fear has been of a homegrown attack, or a homegrown inspired attacks, a lot of Counter TerrorismOfficials Saying theres no evidence of any kind of credible attack here. But its grenades, arms that domestic homeland officials are its clearly different for europe. This is where the foreign fighters are coming from. Thats not who jihadi john was, he was a britain who went straight to the war there. Ocean thats keeping america at a distance from this fight. We have seen this before, we serge saw the mumbai attack, and we realize how vulnerable we are. Reporter the government is figuring out how to blend and come bin the Counter Terrorism attack of overseas the war that is a Counter Terrorism effort. So this country has seen this lone wolf attack, but it isnt a large coordinated attack. Just recently the secretary of Homeland Security has asking to have a new alert system. Theres a fear that if that alert system was sparked u was cause panic amongst to the journalists or among the public. Theyre already trying to get ahead of that game. When we come back, the latest reports from paris about these attacks, and we show you footage of the American National anthem occurred. [ singing ] in fact the numbers are down dramatically. But, has that compromised your safety . Good evening. Well ask the man at the top of tonight, on news 4 at ten. And. Dozens are dead in separate attacks in paris. Well have the latest on the investigation, and a possible k hard, and you do your part, you should be able to get ahead and stay ahead. But the republicans. They want to go back to letting the super wealthy call the shots. They dont stand up for equal pay for women. They dont support paid family leave. They dont even really support refinancing student debt. Weve got to get this economy working for the vast majority of americans, not just for those at the top. Thats what i intend to do as president. France is under astate of People Killed at multiple those people at a theater in paris. Colleagues in paris, specifically if we could talk about what happened at the theater, was it purely inside or was it both outside and inside. Reporter it was in multiple location, and absolutely horrible. According to some witnesses who wchblt to the theater, they arrived from is back stairs and they began to fire on people. Multiple fire, the setting of the people while listening to the concert. Then i heard that one attacker had a one couple was absolutely petrified and the he looked at a woman and the woman began to throw to his face an object and then killed her. And then there was panic. One one three were outside the theater. And another terrorist shot himself near the theater. So that was seven different locations of attacks. Seven different locations u three explosions outside the stadium, then you had multiple atacks across the street, at a restaurant and then to the hostage situation another this theater, with which is a musical in paris, it would be inside broadway broadway. Some people shooting in the street in broadway and a theater attack inside broadway. We were watching the footage of the it was suicide bombers were detonated with vests apparently and a tank of gas outside the stadium when the president was there, the president was according to our properties, he was however quickly and it was thought at the beginning that it was fire works and after hearinging the explosions they realized that it was not arrived and said that it was suicide bombers.
