Videos emerge depicting chaotic aftermath of Paris attacks


On Friday night, Paris was rocked by multiple attacks leaving at least 35 people dead.
Witnesses are reporting multiple fatalities as chaos ensues in the aftermath of the horrific attacks. Bystanders uploaded the following videos, one of which captures the booming sound of an explosion. Please be warned: Both videos are unconfirmed and highly disturbing.
The attacks began when a gunman opened fire with an AK-47 in a Paris restaurant, and shortly after, explosions believed to be grenades went off near the French stadium where the national soccer team was competing against Germany, and finally, shots were reportedly fired at Bataclan concert hall, where roughly 100 people have reportedly been taken hostage.
