IT was a bad day in France on Friday night after gunmen attacked four different locations simultaneously leaving at least 120 people dead.
France has declared national state emergency and has closed its borders after the incident.
Gun took hostages at the Bataclan concert hall in Central where California rock group was playing, leaving 80 people dead before being overpowered by police.
The attackers tossed explosives at the hostages, then blew themselves up with suicide belts as police closed in, the Associated Press reported
Others were reported killed by two suicide bombers near the Stade de France and gun attacks at Cambodia restaurant in city centre.
Seven attackers were reportedly killed including three killed by the police at Bataclan concert hall.
The government has instructed that everyone stay indoors, pools, schools and other public places shut for security reasons, and about 1500 military personnel are being deployed across the city.
No terorist groups have taken responsibility of the attack but an eyewitness who was one of the hostages at the Bataclan concert revealed that one of the attackers said their actions were for Syria, before shooting people.
The country President, Francois Hollande while addressing the country assured the people that everything will be done to bring those responsible to justice. He ordered that the attackers be fought “without mercy”
