presence. as we ask, what's being done to keep america safe? good evening. tonight, from paris. a city stunned by the magnitude of the terror that has unfolded here. but tonight, the country is sending a message back, launching multiple air strikes at this hour against isis targets in syria. france launching war planes, retaliation for the deadly attacks. and there's now an international manhunt under way. authorities releasing this image a 26-year-old french national being described as very dangerous. a warrant out for his arrest. and his brother believed to be one of the attackers. and is now dead, and another

brother has been detained. and people taking cover inside this cafe, crouching behind chairs. this was all a false alarm. and we have chilling new images of the moment of crisis in the theater. the american band on stage when gunfire erupts. as we come on the air tonight, at least 129 dead, 352 injured, nearly 100 in critical condition. and six highly coordinated attacks. seven attackers with matching suicide belts. tonight, our entire team is on this. the manhunt, air strikes, but first the chilling new images. the terror, as it unfolded here. tonight, paris remains a city on edge. mourners gathering here, laying flowers. everything is calm, and then suddenly, panic sets in. a rush, screams, thousands begin a stampede begins. police say fireworks being set

off were to blame. crowds trampling on the carefully-laid candles. and this all comes as tonight there is an all-out manhunt under way. police chasing clues. this car being towed. and just outside the city, another car found. three kalashnikov rifles inside. video of what happened on the street. from silence in the street, to suddenly a barrage of bullets. the suspects, they take aim, then shoot. then heavy gunfire ensues, sparks in the streets.

for cover. patrick zachmann captured the images images. >> i heard the sound of a woman screaming. screaming, help me, help me. >> reporter: and just above the officers, the concert hall, sirens blaring. and then a flash. witnesses inside reported the attackers yelling, allahu akbar, god is great. and syria and iraq, too. and in front of the stage, the american band playing, when gunfire drowns the music. one singer appearing frozen. the drummer taking cover. behind that concert hall, hostages desperately trying to escape. hanging from the windows, one woman that tells everyone she's pregnant. the wounded hobbling down below.

please, what's going on? one person yells. they're shooting at us, one responds. i'm here, baby, i'm here. a loved one calls to another, as more shots are fired. this is the deadliest attack on france since world war ii. and with isis claiming responsibility, we now know it was a highly-planned killing spree. six separate attacks, three teams of terrorists, the attackers wearing identical suicide belts. and tonight, a clearer portrait of the three hours of terror. and 9:20 p.m., a suicide bomber blowing himself up in the middle of a soccer match. five minutes later, 9:25 p.m., four miles away, gunmen open fire at two restaurants, killing 15. >> i was holding on to a woman on the floor with me, i realized she wasn't breathing. >> reporter: then at 9:32 p.m., a block away, shootings at

five. four minutes later, gunmen opening fire at a third restaurant, killing 19. four more minutes go by, and a suicide bomber detonates his belt down the street. seriously wounding one civilian. and in those same moments, the men wielding ak-47 rifles began to shoot at concertgoers inside bataclan hall. as the band eagles of death metal were playing. and then two more suicide bombers detonating their belts outside the soccer stadium. shortly after midnight, 12:13 a.m., the police raid the concert hall. the attackers blowing themselves up. carnage across the city. the deputy mayor saying they had never seen anything like it. when you see the bullet holes through the windows of the restaurants, that's something that's entirely new?

i must say, this is not paris. this is not paris. >> reporter: you can see the bullet holes where they fired through the windows of the restaurant. while people were having dinner inside. they've now placed flowers here. and if you come across the street, you can see the memorial that's been growing by the hour here. people coming to remember all of those who were lost. including this young family, bringing their little boy to light candles. but telling me, paying tribute in this small way is still not enough. >> i don't think coming is enough. it's not enough. >> reporter: we met so many families out across paris today. sharing that sentiment. in a moment, more on the pregnant woman you saw, clinging to a ledge for several minutes. and the other witnesses and hostages trying to get out.

but we want to get to the manhunt, 200 miles away in brussels, three men connected to the terrorist attacks. one dead, one on the run, a third detained. they're warning that the one that got away is very dangerous, and they're telling the public not to intervene. they believe he's one of the attackers. here's terry moran. >> reporter: tonight, an international manhunt for a suspected terrorist that authorities say is one of the gunmen in the paris attacks. salah abdeslam. officials tell abc news he's one of three brothers, one died during the massacre, and the other has been detained in belgium. authorities warn people not to approach him under any circumstances. he's believed to have been involved in the shootings at restaurants and bars in paris. authorities tell abc news tonight. police picked up his escape trail after finding a car that had been used in the attack. and they believe he then took a

en route, he was pulled over, at a traffic stop. but not detained, and he made it across the border. authorities later seized that car in belgium. now, the focus of the intense investigation in a poor suburb of brussels plagued by radicalism. it's one of the neighborhoods that has sent more jihadi fighters to syria and iraq than any other place in europe. seven arrests here yesterday. a chaotic scene, as one man was pinned over a wall and arrested. officers with guns drawn standing by. but tonight, salah abdeslam is still on the loose. one of the arrests was made in this house behind me. and the interior minister of belgium said today that the

candles, posting signs that like that. paris, the city of light. david? >> matt, thank you. we turn to the new questions this evening surrounding a passport discovered beside one of the attackers. it comes amid sweeping raids across belgium. now, this new image of that passport, a syrian passport, fueling a possible theory tonight that a terrorist may have faked his way into the country, slipping in as a refugee. here's brian ross. >> reporter: a major break in the investigation came when police in brussels arrested several possible suspects. and are now interrogating them. authorities say that leaders in syria planned the paris attack, part of a new strategy by isis.
