It was nighttime in Paris, France, when armed terrorists unleashed a barrage of attacks through numerous sites in the French capital such as nearby Stade de France, where the soccer match between France and Germany occurred, Avenue de la Republique, Rue de Charonne, Rue Bichat, and the hardest hit on the deadly Paris attacks is the Bataclan concert hall where a rock concert occurred and then terrorists taken dozens of people hostage.

So far, at least 153 people were killed in the Paris and Saint-Denis shootings and bombings according to reports. It's the deadliest since the attacks on Charlie Hebdo last January over their depiction of Prophet Mohammed. It is expected to rise as authorities are investigating through the deadly Paris attacks.

French president Francois Hollande declared a state of emergency and the closing of national borders. He called the recent attacks "unprecedented" and he urged the public to remain calm.
