France declared a state of national emergency and imposed border controls after terrorist attacks in Paris left over an estimated 120 people dead tonight.

According to French and international media outlets, reports first surfaced of a shooting outside two restaurants in Paris’ 10th arrondissement, which is situated on the right bank of the River Seine.

The next attack was an explosion thought to be caused by suicide bombers at a bar outside France’s national stadium, Stade de France. Seventy-thousand fans had traveled to the stadium to watch France play Germany in a soccer match, and following the explosion, the spectators gathered onto the pitch. No casualties have yet been reported from within the stadium.

French President François Hollande was among the sea of soccer fans in attendance at the stadium. At the sound of the first explosion, security evacuated Hollande to the Elysee Palace, whereupon he learned of the magnitude of the attacks and called an emergency cabinet meeting to discuss the events as they unfolded.

By 1 a.m., Hollande had declared mainland France and Corsica in a state of emergency, tightening control of the nation’s borders. The French government has since deployed 1,500 troops to Paris, and exhorted residents to remain indoors.

According to French media outlets, the third attack, which was the largest, took place at The Bataclan in Paris’ 11th arrondissement. Tonight, the popular music venue was hosting multiple acts and had sold-out of tickets. American band Eagles of Death Metal was scheduled to play a set.

Early reports indicate that the terrorists took over 100 audience members hostage, and killed an at least an estimated 100. During a police raid of the music hall, at least two attackers were killed.

At 2:39 a.m. CET, head of Paris police Micheal Cadot revealed in a statement that all of the attackers are believed dead, but that there remains the possibility of accomplices still at-large. Preliminary police reports indicate around eight men as the perpetrators of the attacks.

The Associated Press reports that police officers took physically unharmed survivors from the Bataclan to a local crisis center for psychological support.

Stephanie Scaglia (10), who has family living across Paris, shared her reaction upon hearing of the attacks.

“My dad texted me,” Stephanie said. “I felt really shocked and scared for my family, and I immediately asked if my cousins were [okay] and he said ‘yes,’ because they lived on the other side of Paris.”

Stephanie has since contacted her family as well.

In 2014, Facebook launched “Safety Check,” a feature which allows users to alert friends and families of their safety during times of crisis. In the past, Facebook has only activated the feature during natural disasters, but now plans to also activate the feature during “human disasters.”

The last time France declared a state of national emergency was in November 2005, following the deaths of immigrant teenagers Zyed Benna and Bouna Traoré and the ensuing riots. France remained in a state of emergency for approximately one month, until early January of 2006.

In accordance with French law, “imminent danger following serious breaches of law and order” constitutes the state of national emergency, during which authorities may conduct house searches during both day and night, restrict travel to certain times and locations, and place areas on lockdown.

While no group has claimed responsibility for the attacks, Islamic State partisans and sympathizers have posted celebratory messages on social media.

The attacks follow a string of recent terrorist activity in Paris. Last January, Islamic militants attacked headquarters of French newspaper Charlie Hebdo. Google Maps reveals the Bataclan to be a mere seven-minute walk from Charlie Hebdo’s offices.

In the maelstrom of tonight’s attacks, some Paris residents and visitors have been left unable to return to their homes and lodgings. Parisians have taken to Twitter and are using the hashtag #PorteOuverte, which means “open door,” to offer safe spaces to those without shelter for the night. Similarly, in the U.S., social media users are tweeting the hashtag #strandedintheUS to offer shelter to those who cannot travel back to France due to the border restrictions.

Social media users across the globe are using #prayforparis to relay messages of support and convey their solidarity.
