A Tragedy in Paris

By Owen Tucker-Smith

At Least 128 people have been killed in Paris, France, after numerous terrorist attacks. These attacks have been said to be the worst ever to take place in Europe since the bombings of 2004 in Madrid, Spain.

The worst of these attacks took place in the Bataclan concert hall, which was reported as resulting in eighty fatalities and many were taken hostage. The attack began when a group of gunmen came into the concert hall and rapidly started shooting at the audience. By the time the cops arrived, three gunmen had killed themselves and the fourth was shot by a police officer

But that wasn’t the only site of fatalities on Friday night. More were killed and injured at restaurants and bars, including La Casa Nostra Restaurant, La Carillon Bar, La Belle Equipe, and Le Petit Cambodge restauraunt. In total around forty were killed at these sites. Also, in Stade de France 80,000 people were watching France play Germany in a game of soccer. The president was at this game when at least two explosions were heard. Three attackers were killed, and the president was evacuated to safety.

ISIS has claimed responsibility for the attacks, and President Hollande has blamed the Islamic State also, describing the assaults as "an act of war." France is in a state of mourning, with at least 128 dead and 300 in the hospital. We will get more details to you in this week's glance.
