• 2 explosions and 3 shootings in Paris (update: 10th and 11th arrondissement)
• Police speak of 35 people dead and many more who are injured  (update: French media speak of 60 dead) (new update: Officials speak of 39 dead and over 50 injured)
• About 100 people are being held hostage at a concert venue (Bataclan) (Update: delyvigne says: hostages are texting families saying they are being killed one by one. 60+ people have died and hostages are saying one by one the 100 in captivity are being killed.)
• UPDATE: FREE PARISIAN EMERGENCY NUMBER: 0800406005.
• Parisians: stay inside or find shelter if you’re still outside. (use the #PORTEOUVERTE hashtag to find shelters!!)
• POLICE HAVE ASKED EVERYONE TO STAY INSIDE.
• Police know nothing of the killers, the French media is making references to Charlie Hebdo but nothing is confirmed yet.
• They have just spoken of another explosion near the stadium and another shooting in a shopping mall at Les Halles, 1st arrondissement. This is not validated by police, but please stay safe. (update: gloomyprincesse says: i believe people are reporting the shooting at Les Halles)
• People are now being allowed to leave the stadium of Stade the France. 
• France is considering closing its borders to try and catch the people behind these attacks and keep up more threats from outside. (Update: mildsurpriseatthedisco says the borders have been closed according to a friend in Paris)
• From Reddit:  US counter-terror officials tell NBC News that Paris attacks bear hallmarks of al-Qaeda, but also not ruling out ISIS
• There is a lot of chaos right now but try to stay calm and keep breathing, my thoughts are with all those in Paris right now <3

This is all I know for now, I will try to add on to this as I get more information.
Unfortunately there isn’t much I can do, but I hope this is at least informative and possibly helpful to some. 

Anyone who has more information send me a message I will update this post!
