At least three shootings and multiple explosions occurred in Paris Friday evening, including one outside a bar near the Stade de France where the French national soccer team was playing Germany, according to multiple media reports.

The Associate Press reports that the death toll has reached 26 people across the country's capital.

BBC News reports that at least one man opened fire with an AK-47 at a luxurious restaurant in the city's 10th district. Police say at least 100 people have been taken hostage at a third location; the Bataclan concert hall where American rock band Eagles of Death Metal were performing.

One of the shootings occurred near the Charlie Hebdo newspaper headquarter, where two masked men killed 11 people and injured 11 others last January.

UK Prime Minister David Cameron tweeted "I am shocked by events in Paris tonight. Our thoughts and prayers are with the French people. We will do whatever we can to help."

President Obama delivered a statement on the attack from the White House, calling it a "heartbreaking" situation and vowing to do whatever it takes to "bring these terrorists to justice."

"Once again we've seen an outrageous attack to terrorize innocent civilians," he said, adding that it is an "attack on all of humanity and the universal values we share." Obama added that he's been in contact with the French government but doesn't have complete details on what happened, nor who may have been involved.

Update 2:

The Guardian is reporting that the death toll in the Bataclan concert call is 118 people. Security forces killed two of the attackers, and President Hollande has closed all France entry points to stop others from escaping.

"Terrorist attacks of unprecedented scale are underway," Hollande said in a televised address. "There have been dozens of deaths, there are many injured, it's a horror." He called the attacks a "terrible trauma" for France.

The city is on lockdown and thousands of French troops have been called to patrol the streets.

Facebook has set up a tool to help locate family and friends who may still be in Paris.

Update 3:

The White House has released President Obama's full speech.

New York City Mayor Andrew Cuomo has directed lights at One World Trade Center to be lit blue, white, and red in honor of France.

A survivor of the Bataclan shootings told the Guardian that "it looked like a battlefield, there was blood everywhere."

"Everyone scrabbled to the ground. I was on the ground with a man on top of me and another one beside me up against a wall," they said. "We just stayed still like that. At first we kept quiet. I don't know how long we stayed like that, it seemed like an eternity."

Gunman apparently burst into the sold-out venue and started firing indiscriminately.

The shooters are believed to be Islamic militants, and ISIS supported their actions by creating Twitter hashtags like #Parisburns and #Parisisburning. Some of the tweets are in Arabic while many translate to "Allahu Akbar," or "God is great."
