Armed gunmen stormed into the Bataclan concert hall where there was a performance by a rock band from California.
The manager of the band, Eagles Of Death Metal, who were due to perform in the hall, has confirmed they are safe.
Witnesses have described the gunmen ‘executing’ people.
French security forces decided to mount a rescue operation.
Three of the suspected gunmen killed themselves by detonating suicide belts when an elite force of French police engaged the anti-siege operation at the hall.
A fourth attacker was shot dead.
The number of those killed reported in the Bataclan has been changing overnight.
The latest figure is that least 80 people have been killed.
