Still unfolding. Heres what we know. 60 people are dead in central paris and 100 being held hostage. Lets take a look at some of the pictures that are coming to us from paris right now. Heres what we understand. It happened just about an hour ago in multiple locations in central paris, france. It started at a soccer stadium where a french soccer game was underway. France was playing germany. Were told the french president had to be evacuated from that stadium when the shooting started. The gunmen, were told, were not wearing masks. Apparently they were martyrs, planning to die. There was a shooting at a Shopping Mall and restaurant. Eyewitnesses saying bodies were falling down. That people were throwing sheets out the window to cover the bodies. The gunmen appeared to have gone to multiple locations. There are reports that some of the gunmen escaped in a car. You could hear the explosion taking place in the stadium as the game was going on there. President obama said he has not reached out to the french president because so much is still unfolding. So much violence still unfolding. This all comes just as jihadi john, the famed executioner who beheaded hostages from both britain and the u. S. And released those devastating videos, was likely killed by a u. S. Drone attack by coalition forces. Still waiting to positively identify his body. Theres no saying whether the cases are linked. It is something that happened just yesterday. And then this happens. As we said, multiple locations. We heard from president obama. Lets hear what he had to say just a few minutes ago. Once again, weve seen an outrageous attempt to terrorize innocent civilians. This is an attack not just on paris. 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 assistance that the government and 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. We want to be very clear that we stand together with them in the fight against terrorism and extremism. Paris itself represents the timeless values of Human Progress progress. Those who think that they can terrorize the people of france or the values that they stand for are wrong. Reporter i do have some information from some eyewitnesses in paris, france, from fox news. Eyewitness ben grant said he was in a bar with his wife when the he had seen six or seven bodies on the ground. He told the bbc, i was told people in cars had opened fire on the bar. As i said, the shootings in multiple locations. As many as 100 hostages being held now at a concert hall where a rock band was playing. This happened at a stadium where a football game, a soccer game, was underway, france playing germany. Were told the french president was in the stadium at the time, but had to be evacuated. Of course were going to be following this for you. Ill send it back to alison and ernie with the latest. Ernie thank you for that. Weve been following the information. This is a very fluid story. Weve heard now that french president hollande declared a state of emergency and closed all border. Now we have a special guest. Alison security expert Robert Strang has been with us throughout the evening. Thank you. They hit a variety of different areas throughout the north of paris, even into the suburbs. It seems like a large scale relatively planned attack. Right. Take a look at what we see on the street. Take a look at all these different situations happening very close together. And take a look at the numbers of people. This is the key here. Youve got tens of thousands of people who are in the stadium. The president happened to be there as well. Youve got hundreds of people in the nightclub. This is a well orchestrated, organized event. This is something that terrorists try to do. They want to be able to get the most they can in terms of putting panic into most people. Think about the families with all those young people in the stadium tonight and how theyre gathered together. Theyre not allowed to leave. Paris is in a state of shock right now. Unfortunately the police cant tell everyone this is over. They cant close the case. This is a very active shooting situation where youve got these young men who are armed with automatic weapons who have already killed dozens of people and in a position to kill other people. This is what we know about. This is a very fluid situation. The police are trying to get a handle on it as quickly as they can. Frankly, you know, this is what you train for. When you see in new york city when our cops are going around 20, 30 cars or Walking Around with their automatic weapons, these are the kinds of things youre constantly ernie when youre talking about training, youre right. As much training as you have, every situation is new. Youre dealing with the same, but at the same time, you really dont know whats going to happen next. Thats where you have to be really prepared. Exactly. Thats law enforcement. Thats police work. Thats security. Thats just being trained where it comes into place and you take control of the situation. You know, you have to shoot somebody if need be quickly. These are the kinds of things that become automatic pilot for police officers. Ernie what were talking about whats going on in paris, were following every detail on fox 5, we heard from mayor de blasio talking about the coordination with french officials, french authorities. Tell us about that and how it impacts here in new york. Were lucky. Our Police Department actually has nypd officers who work under terrorism under bill bratton who are in france where they can rely information to new york directly. Normally theres a chain of command, going through the state department, through homeland security, and ultimately to the cities and states across our country. What happened in new york was we decided we werent going to wait for that chain of command. That because we were such a target, because were at the top of the list, like paris, we wanted to get realtime information. So theres a whole web right now of social media, informants, people monitoring cell phones, emails. Everybody is trying to get as much intelligence information as they can while the cops are in the street trying to control the situation. So its a combination of the Police Taking control of a bad hostage situation on the street and possible other speculations. Its coordinating with all of the Intelligence Networks in paris and france and here in new york and around the world. Ernie massive job. Youve got this is really this is really everybody kicking in. This is a global war on terror. This is the kind of thing that we do that we train for. Youre seeing it right now. In spite of the chaos, the police are actually trying to control the situation and doing a pretty good job of keeping the other innocent people that have been standing around here in the stadium, in the other restaurants, in the subways, trying to keep everybody safe. Alison the French Police for years have been incredibly vigilant. Theyve had a program in paris which is a watchful kind of they took all of the garbage pails and replaced them with plastic bags. They were concerned about bombings and situations in major areas. I know you mentioned that were looking a little bit at how orchestrated this was. You look at the places they went to. We mention the shopping center. Thats a major hub for the subway. It seems like they knew the areas on a friday night that would be just bustling. The subways which come in, seems like they knew how to get everywhere where people would be on a friday night in france. What they did was this is all fluid and were speculating at this time, but clearly theres a smaller number of people that want to have a huge impact. Thats exactly what youre saying. Thats what they planned for. Where can they be where they can have the most impact . Where can they not only injuring people, holding hostages, creating chaos with all these tens of thousands of people, but at home watching television in paris, in france. Theyre terrified. Ernie i spoke to someone an hour ago. They have family in paris. They said it was like a war zone. They dont know what to do. Its a very difficult situation. As weve been saying, several attacks in paris causing a number of fatalities. As many as 60 dead right now. Thats the latest figure. 100 hostages being held. This is a very fluid situation. Were following it now. Keep it here on we at Time Warner Cable need to apologize to you. We no longer offer an excuse to stay home all day just in case the Cable Company decides to show up.

Alison were hearing word as many as 60 people may have been killed in a series of terrorist attacks in and around paris. It may have been in six different locations. The very latest, french president hollande has declared a state of emergency. The borders will be closed. He said we have to show compassion and solidarity and unity and keep our cool. Obviously the president with a daunting task of trying to figure out whats going on and whos done this and whether or not the french people is safe or if this is going to continue. Ernie the story changes minute to minute. Well go to liz dahlem monitoring social media for us. Bring us up to date. Reporter you said the president was calling on solidarity, for people to come together and be there for one another in paris. Were seeing exactly that. The big paper out there posting a tweet that emulates how everyone is feeling there right now. Theyre opening up their doors. Alison you can probably translate that better than me and allowing people to come in to seek a safe place. A lot of people are concerned on the streets. The next tweet, you can see the big Police Presence just outside of that concert hall. Tons of ambulances lining up there. And then a tourist sent this picture from the eiffel tower saying quite a remarkable night to be there, seeing all this happening and unfold before his eyes. We heard from the mayor a while ago. He sent out a formal statement as well as this tweet saying his heart is heavy with news from overseas along with new york city. We are holding you in our youre seeing a stepped up Police Presence from the nypd in pockets throughout the city. We see our own force react when you see this just to keep a special eye on thing. We can assure you the nypd is on top of this news and looking at all different locations around the city to make sure we are safe safe. The president of france saying tonight that they are making sure the borders are closed off this evening. No one coming in and out of the under control. Were monitoring social media. Well have more in the next update. Back over to you. Alison all right. Thanks so much. The hashtag they were showing, it means doors open. Let people in. Help them out. Do what you can to help people who are in a panicked situation ernie very much so. Robert strang is still with us. No one has claimed responsibility so far for this. It varies. Sometimes its quick. Sometimes its not. This is fluid. Theres still activity going on. Is that why theres a delay . Its not over. Thats the reason. This is an active terrorist attack that you still have hostages. You still have people who are injured injured. Not everything has happened at once. Theres been slowly different explosions that have taken place. This is very fluid and dynamic. Theres a tremendous amount of activity going on. Youre not going to have anybody whos going to claim responsibility until this horror show is over. Because lets face it, part of what this process is is to get People Like Us to see it and, you know, and to feel the pain and to be able to this is what terrorists do. Ernie unfortunately, robert, we have seen this before. You know, you have to talk about and you know about this the mentality, especially of all these Young Terrorists involved. Right. They just dont care. Its a mission theyre on. Thats the hard part about fighting terrorism, that youve got people who dont care if they die. They want to cause as much harm as they can as quickly as they can and do it in a very public way. Thats the definition of a terrorist. Clearly this is exactly the kind of thing that, you know, you prepare for. This is the kind of thing that they prepare for. Unfortunately, weve been so good around the world with our intelligence information, weve been able to stop things like this in the past. Somehow this is the one that slips through. Unfortunately, this is what youre dealing with now. Luckily for us and the french and our counterparts have trained as we have in the United States to deal with this. Ernie thank you.
