walk from the charlie hebdo offices were in this area. you talked about earlier shots being fired toward the roof of this arts center. almost every building around here is a little taller, there would be a higher vantage point. i don t think we ve noted this yet, that the act scheduled to play there tonight was an american band from california. we don t know anything more about it. other than that we don t know if that s actually what happened but we know that was the schedule for tonight. this is the theater in question. if we move to the next location and take a look at the street view at this, this is over in the tenth excuse me. this is up in the stadium here. this is well north of town. you might pass it on the way to one of the airports. big modern stadium. lots of people there. this gives you a sense of what the lay of land is there and what it would look like if you were there outside in the daytime. this is the second location, lots of people there. but the area right now
this tonight though i don t think anybody was prepared for this. i mean, we re hearing anywhere from 15 to 30 people killed in the attacks here this evening. afp is report iing 30. it s hard to imagine that number, but we just don t know at this stage of the game. jim, standby for a moment. we re going to get back to you. jonathan johnson is joining us. he s at the stadium there where those explosions took place. jonathan, you re a journalist, tell us what you saw, what you heard and what s going on now. through the first half of the game we heard a couple of loud explosions. explosions here in france they re not entirely uncommon, however those as loud as we heard them tonight, you know, they re very rare if unheard of. so that immediately put everybody on edge that perhaps something might have been and then around about halftime of
american band playing there tonight. so you could look at that as a way to attract attention and perhaps make not just france a target of this attack tonight but the u.s. as well. all right. standby. we ll see if this isis applauding what s going on is genuine, if it is formally part of an isis terror operation unfolding in paris right now. i just want to update our viewers on what we know. there are at least three, possibly four separate incidents that have been unfolding in paris over the past few hours including at the football stadium there. apparently a suicide bombing. some explosion. at least three people dead there. two other gunshot attacks at an area not far from the charlie hebdo magazine where there were at least 15 people, 18 people killed in january. and now we re told at least 15 people are killed here. and also there s an ongoing hostage situation unfolding at a major concert hall in paris right now. and dozens of people we re told
who committed the explosions and the gunfire, are they captured? or are they still at large? we have no information about anybody capture d. possibility that the attacks at the stadium were committed by suicide bombers. but this is also not confirmed. it s something that was reported but unconfirmed so far. so i cannot give you more precise information at this stage. mayor, if you don t mind, please standby with us. the deputy mayor of paris providing us with information, unconfirmed reports that there was suicide explosions at that stadium. paul cruickshank, our terrorism analyst, has also getting more information. paul, what are you learning? well, wolf, i mean, it certainly looks like a serious
clearly appears to be a major coordinated terrorist attack on the streets of paris tonight, wolf. they re investigating those blasts that we were just playing outside the football stadium. you have the deputy mayor of paris just on saying that some early reports suggesting those were suicide bombers potentially cee yalting those blasts outside the stadium. but those reports still unconfirmed. they ll be looking at all of that. clearly french authorities have a lot more information than we do right now. presumably we ll already know if they were indeed suicide bombings. but right now the biggest concern is this hostage situation with up to 60 people holed up in that theater. obvious concern that every last person there could be killed
