More information on the attacks is still developing. As of Friday, President Francois Hollande declared a state of emergency and closed France's borders.
In the hours after the horrific attacks, Hollande has called the attacks "an act of war" against France, TIME reports.
“It is an act of war prepared and planned outside, with complicity from within the country,” he said. “It is an act of absolute barbarism. France will be ruthless in its response.”
There are a reported six locations where attacks happened across the city, including at Bataclan concert hall where a hostage situation developed during a concert for American band Eagles of Death Metal. French security forces were deployed to the concert hall and killed two gunmen, the Associated Press reports.
