Terrorism strikes again with at least 18-26 people reported dead in what authorities describe as “multiple attacks” in Paris, France. Hostages are also reportedly being held in a theater.

At least 3 separate attacks have been reported along with explosions at the Stade de France (the national French stadium) which is now believed to be in lockdown.

The French president may have been evacuated for security reasons.

Shootings took place outside a crowded restaurant.

Officially this has not been labeled terrorism but it is difficult to see how it is anything else.
