I’m at a loss. I really don’t know what to do or say. Terrorism struck in Paris earlier tonight, reportedly in six different places. One of those places was the Stade de France in Saint-Denis, where cameras captured a loud explosion during the France-Germany soccer game. It is believed to be a suicide bombing.

118 reported deaths in Paris due to the attacks.
The Bataclan concert hall was also reportedly a scene of an attack by two men.
Ongoing updates here. People in those areas are using Periscope to document the wave of terror.
The president of France issued a statement on Twitter:
Face à l'effroi, il y a une Nation qui sait se défendre, sait mobiliser ses forces et, une fois encore, saura vaincre les terroristes.
— François Hollande (@fhollande) November 13, 2015
Translation via CNN: “Faced with terror, this is a nation that knows how to defend itself, how to mobilize its forces and once again, knows how to overcome the terrorists.”
Our thoughts are with all of those in Paris affected by these attacks.
