Death toll revised to around 120
A Paris city hall official said four gunmen systematically slaughtered at least 87 young people attending a rock concert at the Bataclan music hall. Anti-terrorist commandos eventually launched an assault on the building. The gunmen detonated explosive belts and dozens of shocked survivors were rescued.Some 40 more people were killed in five other attacks in the Paris region, the city hall official said, including an apparent double suicide bombing outside the national stadium, where Hollande and the German foreign minister were watching a friendly soccer international.
Some 200 people were injured.
Paris public prosecutor François Molins said the death toll was at least 120.
His spokeswoman said eight assailants had also died, seven of whom had blown themselves up with explosive belts at various locations, while one had been shot dead by police.

This article discusses the recent events that have happened in Paris. It outlines how many people were killed or injured. This article isn't very biased, or the bias isn't overly evident. The authors try to just outline facts. It is very sad about what happened in Paris. Our job no is to pray, for the people suffering, as well as the attackers or people like them. One thing I wish this article had done, was to expand on the bombings at the national stadium. I wonder if the foreign ministers there were a target or it was just a place with a lot of random people. I hope and pray that things like this don’t become a common occurrence.
