As many as 120 people were killed at the Bataclan Theater in Paris on Friday night when terrorists opened fire during American rock band, Eagles of Death Metal's concert, and held many more audience members hostage, according to The Guardian.
French president François Hollande declared a state of emergency following the attacks at Bataclan and at least two other locations that played out across the city. He also closed the country's borders as the hunt for the perpetrators continued.
The other locations included two suicide bombings at the Stade de France stadium (just north of Paris) where a soccer match between France and Germany was taking place, according to The Guardian. President Hollande was in attendance, but was safely evacuated. A shooting also took place at Le Petit Cambodge restaurant near Bataclan.
Inside of the Bataclan venue, survivors reported a scene of "carnage," according to the New York Times. French police raided the concert hall in the early hours of Saturday morning and were able to free hostages, killing two of the attackers in the process.
Eagles of Death Metal members were able to evacuate the venue before the terrorists took hostages, NBC New York reported. Lead singer and guitarist Jesse Hughes made it to safety, family members confirmed. The band's touring drummer Julian Dorio's wife confirmed that he is safe as well, but a message posted to the group's Facebook page announced that members of their crew are still unaccounted.
"We are still currently trying to determine the safety and whereabouts of all our band and crew. Our thoughts are with all of the people involved in this tragic situation," the statement read.
Josh Homme from the rock band, Queens of the Stone Age, is also a member of Eagles of Death Metal, but wasn't on tour in Europe with the group. He was in California at the time of the attacks.
As many as 150 people total are feared dead, but the final death toll is still unknown as of 10:15 p.m. EST on Nov. 13. At least six locations reported gun shots or explosions.
