believes they were in a vehicle or in the street shooting into the restaurant then paused to reload, shot again and then left. so if her report is accurate, they were not chased off, no police on the scene when she was able to evacuate the restaurant, just ambulances on the way. seems like from her account whoever shot into that restaurant whether one or more people and she believes more than one, though again, that s only one eyewitness, those, whoever did that would seem to have gotten away and obviously, that would be people police are eager to find and looking for right now. jim, we ll check in with you. joining us as well from paris is seth, one of the shootings i understand happened in front or close to the apartment building you re staying in. walk us through what you saw, what you heard. sure thing. i was walking out of the apartment building and i believe the shootings occurred while i was in the elevator. i didn t hear them. as soon as i get outside, this
public displays of solidarity, nothing like that, all the flea markets, museums, everything like that closed. and people stay at home. that s the instruction. this is so different than in january after the charlie hebdo attacks. because you ll remember, that attack happened and the sunday immediately after, there was a huge march here in paris, where everyone took to the streets to come together, to show solidarity. that s not happening here right now, because there is a state of emergency. are we getting translation? he s talking about he s talking about what happened at the cambodia restaurant, that somebody came up in a black car and opened fire against that restaurant. and we know that many people were killed in that restaurant. as we await the english translation, we know also that the french president addressed the people of france for the second time. he did it immediately after
so it s a small place to target. and yeah, it was a lot a feeling of terror, i think, and panic among everybody there. could you see any of the shooters or the shooter? do you know if there were multiple people? i didn t see anything. i immediately looked away from where the glass and the gunshots were firing so i didn t see any shooters. i believe there was more than one. it sounded like there would be more than one and it also sounded as if they had stopped to reload and then reloaded again and then more gunshots fired the second time around. was it your sense that they had actually entered the restaurant or were they shooting from the street? they were shooting from the street and i heard reports there was a drive by, so that makes some sense. it seemed as if they weren t coming in and i think the initial shock of there being
casualties in the restaurant and shots going into the restaurant after that, we were waiting to see whether or not they would come in but they didn t. thankfully. do you have any idea how many people were wounded and/or killed? i saw personally, maybe three or four people fatally wounded. i saw people with some blood over them, but i didn t have time to make that kind of estimation. i ve heard, since heard seven people were fatally wounded in the restaurant that i was in, but i m not sure. personally, i felt as soon as we hit the floor that it the first thing i thought of were the charlie hebdo attacks. so since that, i ve not been very surprised to hear that there s been a correlation that s been made. it was the same kind of feeling of dread and uncertainty that we
the things the president hinted at when he said that he was closing the borders and securing various neighborhoods. they are sealing off neighborhoods in a way i ve never seen before basically with cops and army of soldiers with assault rifles who are aggressively stopping motor eis in a way that s impressive. i saw one witness where a gentleman came up to one, probably didn t know what it was and the young soldier just pointed his assault rifle right at him and said turn around and the guy was quick to do so. they are not taking any chances. there could be other people out there. there could be other attacks planned and they just don t know this for sure. so i think that s one of the things that they are looking at. i should tell you i talked to a woman that survived the attack at a restaurant who she believes, though, she didn t see who the attackers were, she
