‘Intense gunfire’ in Les Halles; crowd waits to be evacuated from soccer stadium

Some French reports say the death toll is now over 60.

A French radio station is reporting an additional shooting attack at a huge shopping mall in the 1st Arrondissement in the heart of central Paris. “Intense gunfire” at that location — the Les Halles shopping mall.

France TV says 80,000 people are still waiting to be evacuated from the soccer stadium.

On a night of terrifying violence in Paris with two explosions going off outside the stadium, France beat Germany 2-0 Friday in a game overshadowed by the events around the city, AP says. The explosions could be heard inside the Stade de France as they went off nearby in the first half. The match was not halted.

Fans remained inside the stadium after the final whistle, with some going onto the pitch as news of the violence spread.
