How It Happened

A stadium, a concert hall, a succession of cafes and bars around Paris. Attacks on several sites around the French capital left more than 130 people dead on Friday night. Here's a look at some of the targets:

20:20 GMT: LE CARILLON and LE PETIT CAMBODGE

Le Carillon, a bar-cafe, and the nearby Cambodian restaurant Le Petit Cambodge were apparently both targeted with gunfire, killing around 14 people and leaving several gravely injured, according to the prosecutor. They are at the junction of Rue Bichat and Rue Alibert. Witnesses described sounds like fireworks, before they realized the gravity of the situation and tried to find a place to hide, or flee.

The sidewalk terrace of this cafe on Rue de Charonne was showered in gunfire, killing as many as 19 people, according to the Paris prosecutor. Emergency workers covered bodies splayed on the sidewalk of the traditional Parisian cafe, whose name is a play on the expression “Le Belle Epoque.”

22:00 GMT: LE BATACLAN

One of the best-known popular music venues in Paris, the Bataclan attracts a range of bands, and was set to host California-based band Eagles of Death Metal on Friday night. The attackers first sprayed cafes outside the concert hall with machine gunfire, then went inside and opened fire on the panicked audience, according to the Paris police chief. As police closed in, they detonated suicide vests, killing themselves and setting off explosions. At least 80 people were killed.
