The world watched in horror as a flurry of violence erupted in Paris. Scores are dead. France's borders are sealed. The city is under a curfew for the first time since World War II. Here's what we know about what's happening:
— The the siege at Paris' Bataclan concert hall is over.. One police official described "carnage" inside the building, saying the attackers tossed explosives at the hostages, then blew themselves up with suicide belts as police closed in, the Associated Press reported.
— At least 100 hostages, at the hall for a concert featuring a California rock band, Eagles of Death Metal, were reported killed there.
— "You think . . . what was that. You get down. You find yourself between dead bodies. You are afraid, you don't know what's happening – it's like you are in a dream. You go out onto the street there is no one, but there is blood everywhere," one witness from the scene at the concert hall recalled.
— Paris Prosecutor Francois Molins says the death toll in attacks at six sites could top 120 and that five attackers may have been killed.
— Earlier, gunmen opened fire in multiple locations around Paris, killing dozens. In addition to the Bataclan, gunman attacked two restaurants. Terrorists targeted as many as seven locations, police said.
