A multi-site violent attack appears to have taken place in Paris, reports The Telegraph. There have been reports of Kalashnikov (AK-47) fire, grenade explosions, and hostages taken. As of 10 p.m. local time Paris, the French police reported 26 dead.
At least 18 people were killed and “many wounded” in a series of attacks in Paris by gunmen armed with kalashnikovs and grenades on Friday evening, police said.
Grenades were reportedly thrown at a stadium in the north of the French capital where a football match between France and Germany was being held, witnesses said.
…The motive of the shootings is unknown, but Parisians feared that terrorists had again attacked the French capital, where 17 people were killed in a series of attacks in January that began with the shootings of staff at the office of the Charlie Hebdo magazine. Sirens were heard throughout central Paris.
