The gunmen's motives were not immediately confirmed, but one witness at the Bataclan heard one of the attackers appear to express support for the militant Islamic State (IS) group. "It's Hollande's fault, he shouldn't have intervened in Syria!" the man shouted, according to French news agency AFP, citing the French president's decision to take part in Western air strikes on IS. Paris saw three days of attacks in early January, when Islamist gunmen murdered 18 people after attacking satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, a Jewish supermarket and a policewoman on patrol. Attack sites: Bataclan concert venue, 50 boulevard Voltaire, 11th district - gun and suicide bomb attacks Stade de France, St Denis, just north of Paris - explosions near venue as France played Germany in football friendly Le Carillon bar, 18 rue Alibert, 10th district - gun attack Le Petit Cambodge restaurant, 20 rue Alibert, 10th district - gun attack La Belle Equipe, 92 rue de Charonne, 11th district - gun attack La Casa Nostra restaurant, 2 rue de la Fontaine au roi, 11th district - gun attack The attack on the 1,500-seat Bataclan hall was by far the deadliest of Friday night's attacks. Gunmen opened fire on concert-goers watching US rock group Eagles of Death Metal. The event had been sold out. The series of attacks not far from the Place de la Republique and the Place de la Bastille struck at the heart of the capital when cafes, bars and restaurants were at their busiest. Customers were singled out at venues including a pizza restaurant and a Cambodian restaurant. Friday the 13th 3 shootings in paris france! #Bataclan concert shooting #central paris shootings #death metal concert shooting #la costra nostra restaurant shooting #terrorist attack terrorists wielding AK-47s and hurling explosives executed at least 118 people inside a Paris concert hall late Friday night, in a massacre that followed coordinated attacks that killed at least 40 more people, rocking the French capital -- prompting President Francois Hollande to close the entire nation's borders and order a state of emergency. French police said early Saturday they believed all of the attackers were dead but they were still searching for possible accomplices. The French prosecutor's office said seven of the eight assailants died in suicide bombings, the Associated Press reported. At least 200 people were injured in the attacks, 80 of them seriously, according to Agence France Press, citing a security source. The carnage inside the music venue ended around midnight local time when French police stormed inside, killing three Kalashnikov-toting gunmen who witnesses said wore flak jackets as they slaughtered horrified spectators. The victims had gathered to see the American rock band Eagles of Death Metal, and a handful managed to escape to tell of the horror taking place inside where the killers shouted "This is for Syria!" and "Alahu Akhbar!" as they cut down patrons from a balcony before the band took the stage. Julien Pierce, a Europe 1 journalist who was inside the Bataclan, described what he saw to the BBC. "It lasted between 10 and 15 minutes," he said. "It was extremely violent and there was panic. The attackers had enough time to reload at least three times. They were very young." Marc Coupris, 57, still shaking after being freed from inside the Bataclan, told The Guardian he thought he would soon be dead. “It looked like a battlefield, there was blood everywhere, there were bodies everywhere," Coupris said. "I was at the far side of the hall when shooting began. There seemed to be at least two gunmen. They shot from the balcony. As many as six other attacks occurred, involving shootings and at least two suicide bombers, including one who detonated near the city's Stade de France soccer stadium where the French and German national teams were playing in a match attended by Hollande. Defiant soccer fans sang the French national anthem as they streamed from the stadium. One man was reportedly arrested, and Twitter accounts linked to ISIS celebrated the attacks,but no terror organizations immediately claimed responsibility. A gunman at one of the attacks, at Petit Cambodge, a Cambodian restaurant in the city's fashionable 10th arrondisement, was also reportedly heard shouting "This is for Syria!" as he sprayed gunfire at horrified patrons, witnesses said. Another attack took place at a Forum Des Halles, a shopping mall.
