Paris was rocked by multiple attacks Friday night, which have resulted in at least 35 reported deaths and a hostage situation in the city's Bataclan theater. The violence began with a shootout at a Paris restaurant, while soon after explosions were reported near the Stade de France, a soccer stadium where the French national team was in the middle of a game against Germany. Alleged video has emerged of the audible detonation during gameplay, via Argentina-based news site Infobae América:
French President François Hollande was reportedly evacuated from the stadium after the explosions. Video has also emerged of fans apparently running onto the field and using the Stade de France as an informal safe zone, which you can see here.
