4:01 am
the target of the operation was the alleged mastermind of the attacks, abdelhamid abaaoud. scores of heavily armed police were involved in the raid north of paris and jonathan vigliotti is in saint-denis with the details. >> reporter: good morning. we're standing about three blocks away from where the early morning raid was carried out around 4:00 local time. it's six hours later and you can still see the active scene behind me. police and military troops scouring the street for other possible suspects. french prosecutor is confirming one person killed identified as a female suicide bomber who we're told set off her suicide vest. five other suspects taken into custody, three inside the apartment, two outside on the streets. their identities not confirmed. police had reason to believe that the mastermind behind
4:02 am
friday's attack was hiding inside. gunfire erupted in a paris suburb of saint-denis overnight where police believed the mastermind was hiding. residents heard explosions, some were evacuated, others told to stay indoors as heavily armed officers and soldiers moved through the streets. authorities think mastermind abdelhamid abaaoud was inside the apartment with several other heavily armed suspects. police began searching for a second man who they say slipped away after the carnage. authorities reportedly spotted him on surveillance video in a car with two other attackers who opened fire on customers at a bar. the brother of one of the suspected attackers is appealing for him to come forward. my advice to him is to turn himself into the police, he said, so justice can shed light on what happened. saint-denis is just over a mile from the soccer stadium targeted by three suicide bombers.
4:03 am
secretary of state john kerry says attacks on so-called soft targets like these pose yet another challenge for the fight against isis. >> for a terrorist, if you're willing to die, you can choose almost anywhere to go do that. and everybody else who is in law enforcement trying to prevent it has to get every single thing right all the time 24/7, 365. that's a much tougher task. >> reporter: and we are back here live again three blocks away from where the early morning raid was carried out and where right now the search for more suspects very much real and active this morning. twice already we have seen police break through the barrier where we are in the search for possible suspects. and we've already seen the barrier stretch over to our left as that ongoing search continues this morning. >> can you tell me more about the area, saint-denis? >> reporter: the neighborhood is about 30 minutes outside the
4:04 am
center of paris, pretty close to the stadium where one of the attacks took place. this has been an area that has been the focus of these police raids in the past 48 hours. hundreds of raids have been carried out throughout the country including in this very location. as far as the intelligence that led police to this particular area and to that flat behind us, still unclear. what we can tell you, neighbors that we have spoken with said they woke up to explosions and to gunfire and again right now still very much an active site. unclear right now if other raids are being carried out behind me as we speak. >> looking at the video, it's clear that this is a major, major police and almost military operation. but it's also a place where a lot of people live. what has it been like for the people who call this area home? >> reporter: yeah, you can imagine how hectic it's been. we've only had the opportunity through all the chaos here to he speak with just a handful of
4:05 am
people. we spoke with one person, a father and his son, who said they woke up to those explosions and quickly hid under their bed. you can imagine the fear and the tension here this morning. and really throughout the country as the search continues. the mastermind, abdelhamid abaaoud, was believed to be in syria, but now with everything that is unfolding, it's obviously believed that he may be here and possibly one of the suspects that was found inside. of course there is another person in all this, salah abdeslam, one of nine attackers involved in friday's attack and one of two still on the run. so as the search continues to widen, three suspects within france's border, you can imagine right here in this very block where this seems to be the latest of all of this, a lot of tension continuing. >> i can only imagine now. jonathan vigliotti, thank you so much. we'll have the very latest from saint-denis on the raid related to last week's terrorist attacks in paris coming up on "cbs this morning." now overnight, two air france

4:08 am
lawmakers say for now it is time to shut america's borders to syrian refugees. even as the administration defends the vetting process they claim the refugees are not being thoroughly investigated. but even some democratic lawmakers are having second thoughts. chuck schumer said a pause in taking the syrians may be necessary. in the philippines, president obama lashed out at efforts to shut out the refugees. >> they're scared of widows and orphans coming into the united states of america as part of our tradition of compassion. >> reporter: the president apparently referring to remarks by new jersey governor chris christie who said orphans under five should not be admitted to the u.s. and on the campaign trail, donald trump charges the obama administration is deliberately sending syrian refugees to states led by republican governors. trump also says religion plays a role as to who is allowed into the u.s.

>> the hardest thing you can do is be a christian in syria and come into the united states. one of the easiest places in the entire world to come into the united states from is syria if you're a muslim. >> some refugee advocates compare the reaction against allowing the syrians into this country to placing japanese americans into interment camps during world war ii and the u.s. government turning away jews fleeing nazi germany. >> don champion here in new york, thank you so much. well, the midwest and pacific northwest are facing the threat of severe weather. a storm system stretching across the middle of the country could bring flooding along with blizzard conditions to the plains. the northwest could see damaging winds and rain. three people are dead in washington after being hit by falling trees brought down by high winds. gusts hit 70-mile-per-hour in spokane, a tree crushed the roof of a car, but the driver inside was pulled out safely.
