Didnt know whats going on and what we heard, we thought it was like a shooting or something. But then she told us that the police were intervening. So we could hear shootings. And we could hear the helicopters flying. She told me that she was woken up by a huge explosion. Police stormed into the building and told her to duck down on the floor. She was with her husband and her baby. And then she got really scared and she spent two hours lying down on the floor. Police told her to stay down, remain there while they were conducting the operation. Then they told her they evacuated her and told her to go to city hall. Thats where she she told me it was a very traumatic experience. You were just looking at live pictures from the french suburb of saintdenis where police raids have just completed, were told. We will be going in just a few minutes to brad garrett, former fbi special agent, to recap exactly whats being whats going on here in america. Stay with us. Youre watching world news now.

There paris suburb. What are you hearing on the ground right now . Reporter weve seen a nqmber of people being led out with their hands on their heads. We dont know if they were arrested. Entire area, in the perimeter, has to be probably about half a square mile, has been ordered to stay in their home. So anybody whos out and about could be considered a suspect. No reports on who was arrested or the exact target. But as alex just mentioned, clearly the number one target right now in the french crosshairs, Abdelhamid Abaaoud, is someone whos suspected to have been in this location. And thats why we noticed police being so jittery. Weve been here for a few days, and it has been clear that france is on high alert and that theyre extremely eager and keen on finding the suspects in this case and having the mastermind right here in northern paris of both of these attacks, as alex said, is not only an embarrassment, it also speaks to what has happened with french intelligence. What seems to b
Kendis. Well, just a short few seconds ago the clock tower here in the center of saintdenis tolled 9 00. That raid started taking place around 4 30 this morning when police launched it with a very intensive strike. There were loud volleys of gunfire heard. Explosions. That lasted for quite some time. We understood there were several wounded among the police. Weve been on the scene now for around two hours. About an hour and a half ago we heard a loud series of explosions which we believe to be sound grenades or concussion grenades if you will that police often use in sieges and we understand from the French Justice ministry is that this raid is either coming to an end or has finished. It has been relatively quiet here for quite some time. There have been flurries of activity every so often but it has been quiet in terms of the firing, the explosions and so on. We also understand from french officials that one of the suspects who was holed up in this apartment around 200 meters down tha
Welcome back. These are some of the sights and sounds in paris earlier this morning as police there in the suburb of saintdenis conducted a raid targeting several suspects connected to the attacks last friday that killed more than 129 people. Were getting word that two of the suspects are dead, including a female suicide bomber. Thats been such an interesting turn because so far we havent heard of any female suicide bombers involved in any of this, planning or execution. And the fact to hear that, pretty surprising this morning. We want to go now to brad garrett, former fbi special agent. We spoke to him earlier this morning and we want to hear a little more about what brad has to hear about this situation. Reporter well, one of the keys anytime youre trying to determine if somebodys in a residence, is what intelligence do you have that hes there . In other words, did neighbors call you . Did a source call you . What is the situation . And what you try to do is take that and can you ac
