stadium. eades the stadium is the last place they want them to go to. paris, france, in chaos. there wee three simultaneous, maybe four simultaneous attacks at the stadium. two explosions were heard. people were hurt inside the stadium. we think it was more toward the outside. these are the streets now of paris, france, where you have firefighters trying to rescue people wounded. the death toll now from the attack is up over 40. 100 people are being held hostage at a concert hall where they were having a heavy metal band play. we understand inside that concert hall there wasan explosion. there was gun fire. at least 15 people in that location, we're told are dead. a hundred peple are held hostage. at the restaurant and the bar, the restaurant three miles fm the soccer stadium. we understand that there ws gunfire. onewitness told bbc rerter over a hundred shots

were fired. they say 25 people in that location at a bar about a half a mile from that restaurant in the locations, 25 people have been killed. a number of others wounded. that is from gunfire. in paris, france, coordinated attack, simultaneously three or four lotion where the attacks with the explosions or with gunfire. in one case, i read something that the bbc reporter said the gunman opened fire, hit the targets he wanted to and run off before the police even got to that ocation. you can imagine withso many different locations to attend to their hands are full. streets are blocked off. people are evacuated. i central france you have tourists in the area. they were evacuating a street or two. they have evacuated blocks of streets. the hard part now is figure out where the bad guys are.

in the concert hallwith a hundred hostages being held they have their hands full to negotiate with the hostages to try to get them freed. the video you are seeing ow is what we are seeing coming in the newsroom. if you look up thestreet you see the officers hiding behind a van. they are trying to hide behind or get cover. want to play video from inside the soccer stadium a short time ago. i hope we have this. you can hear the explosions going off as the attack gets underway. listen. [explosion] jonathan: that's the sound. the explosion, two of them. there were two explosions at the stadium past the stands watching the germans and the french square off at a soccer match. again, we are going to continue to monitor the situation. right now we don't know what is happening in the streets of france. we are trying to get reports. we know that the hostage situation at the concert hall,

as far as the other three locations at the stadium, the soundof the fans and the players, that i have to stay in there. we are told that they have evacuated president. he is in a state location and talkin to the minister of defense to talk about what is happening on the streets of france. we know of four locations places attacked. the only place we know that the situation taking out now is at a concert hall where a heavy metal band was palying. there were shots fired in the hall. 15 people are dead at tha location more than a hundred others are held hostage.

leon: jonathan elias with the latest on the terror gripping paris. jonathan: this is a fluid situation. erhing is happening.that what w are getting from the international reporters on scene. 40 people now dead. 100 hostages bei held. nber o locations where simultaneous attack took place three, perhaps evenfour. we do know hat president obama has been briefed. telling him what is playing out in paris, france. thehostages, they have teams there now to negotiate the release or surrender. it will be a tough one given that the attack t understand there were explosions -- listen to this. [explosions] you hear fans. those explosions are going off inside or jus outside the

ccer stadium where the french and german teams were squaring off. we don't know erwhe th came from, a suicide bomber, grenade or a bomb or device placed there. we don't know. we know people were killed and hurt as a result of the explosions. from the soccer stadium, a mile to two miles away, you will find a restaurant that was background for another attack. they went in and fired with automatic weapons. a witness told bbc reporter over 100 rounds fired. at that restaurant and a bar a half a mile outh from the restaurant. keep in mind these are really nice areas of paris where a lot of young people like to go out on a friday night and celebrate the weekend. we understand 25 people were killed in the two locations. lots more people wounded. the hard part for first responders, that i cannot rush in a situation to help people if they don't know if situation is secure, if they are facing gunfire or there are more explosio.

so it has been a delicate process in the first place to get first responders to those wounded. andalso to try to figure out what is playing out. there was a fourth location, a concert hal. inside the concert it was heavy metal, i think rock 'n' roll. a concert. there was an explosion. we understand there was gunfire inside the soccer hall. we are told 15 pime were killed inside the -- 15 people were killed inside the concert hall and now a hundred people are held as hostages. i said earlier nobody has come forward to claim responsibility. cnn is repoing a hashtag put out by sis celebrating what is happening tonight on the street of paris. gaain, 40 dead 100eing held hostage. we do not know if the numbers are going up. chances are, they are. hang on, a sad update. nowweuderstand 60 people

total dead. not 40. 60. the numbers will contin t go up when you consider how much damage was done with the explosions andthe gun fire. this is still early. a fluid situation. with redoing our best to get all thepageants. let's get ovchris papst. soal meia at a time like this has gone crazy. no exception tonight. >> absolutely. the people the ground seein this are getting on the phone and sharing video. sharing thghts with the world. some of what we are seeing now. this person took a picture saying terrorist attacks on our streets in paris. kamikazes. interesting words.

that stadium playing the french team. explosions went off that we heard a few minutes ago. this one saying i was there by coincidence. just left the zone. pray for paris. this is taking over twitter tonight 11:30 at night. beautiful night, beautiful friday night. people are out trying to enjoy th evening. that game as well. wehave to deal with this. streets cordoned off in the area. the police response. re video. more of the same. a hectic and a terrifying situation happening right now leon? leon: thank you. keep us posted. alison: another note before we move on to local news. we have heard that the president here, president obama briefed. we heard the department of homeland security has made a statement that at this point

there is no credible threat to the united states. we are following this. we'll back to it momentarily. we want to tell you today about the body camera video. this is becoming more common. now the america civil liberties union wants to take it to a place to share your side of thetory. suzanne kennedy explains how. suzanne: armed with a cell phone, private citizens are keeping a watchful eye on the men and women supposed to protect them. a smart phone app by the aclu makes video like to the hands of the advocates to investigate cases of alleged police misconduct easier. mobile justice makes it easy to record interaction th the police. >> virginia, maryland, d.c. now join the ranks of the 16 other states where t tool is available. >> individuals believe they

have witnessedivil rights violation, they can send it to thelu for review with their ucndformatn. sunne: the way it you have to downld the app specifically to the city where you live. there is one more maryland, virginia and one in d.c. if you see a case of police misconduct say here in virginia you should shoot it on your phone and upload it specificallytothe jurisdiction in which it happened. the head of the d.c. police union says they don't oppose being recorded if the citizens don't get in their way. >> you can stand ten feet away n interfere. if the officer says to back up because they are creating a perimeter that is a protected crimescene usually. suzanne: washington area residents like the oncept. >> that would be nice. >> streamline the process of getting information to the proper authorities. that is a plus.
