Paris attacks: At least 153 killed in gunfire and blasts!

On a night when thousands of Paris residents and tourists were reveling and fans were enjoying a soccer match between France and world champion Germany, horror struck in an unprecedented manner. Terrorists -- some with AK-47s, some reportedly with bombs strapped to them -- attacked sites throughout the French capital and at the stadium where the soccer match was underway.

Scores were killed in the coordinated attacks late Friday, leaving a nation in mourning and the world in shock.

The attacks resembled tactics that have been used by a number of terror groups -- including al Qaeda's focus on mass casualty and visibility, and the small, tactical nature of attacks that are more the hallmark of ISIS and its acolytes. It is still not clear who is responsible.

I was watching that unfold on the news at 01:30 this morning. Absolutely outrageous.
They also went into a concert by the Eagles of Death Metal and started randomly opening fire at the crowd allegedly shouting 'this is for isis'
Within the last half hour Isis have claimed responsibility for the attacks.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the victims and their families. Not much else I can think to say about this, it's beyond words.

The only good news to come out of this was that the death toll hasn't reached that original terrible estimate as the death toll is only at 129.
