Three people were killed following an explosion at the national
stadium as France took on Germany - Goal's reporters in the
French capital discuss the evolving situation

It was 21:17 CET when the spectators and television viewers
heard a first and then a second explosion close to Stade de
France. It sounded like it might be the start of a fireworks
display but was revealed to be something far graver. Asked by
Infosport+ , the president of the French Football Federation, Noel
Le Graet, presented the facts he was aware of them: “A bomb
exploded at the entrance of Gate J. There are three dead and
several injured.”
This attack in front of Stade de France is only one of numerous
dramatic episodes that have rocked Paris this Friday evening. At
least three other shooters have been in the vicinity of the 10th
and 11th arrondissements of the capital, and hostages have
been taken at the Bataclan Theatre.
A rush occurred at Stade de France at the final whistle as the
spectators were leaving the stadium. Our correspondent, Loic
Tanzi, was present during this panic, forcing the security
personnel to let dozens of new fans into the stadium. Several
hundred of them took refuge on the pitch. An uneasy calm soon
returned, and the PA was able to announce, at around 23:15,
that the area around stadium was secure and that people could
again leave through a single exit.
No press conference was to be given at Stade de France due to
the serious nature of the incidents in Paris, which come 10
months after the city was rocked by the attacks centred on the
office of the Charlie Hebdo magazine.
The initial information given by police is that there are at least
39 dead around the city. There are many police operations still
running their course as authorities try to gain a handle on the
situation. The president of the Republic, the prime minister and
the minister of the interior are meeting at Place Beauvau to
discuss the tragedy. The mayor of Paris and the chief of police
have asked locals to stay at home and await instructions from
authorities.
On social media, there has been an outpouring of solidarity from
citizens, with the hashtag #PorteOuverte (open door) offering
people on the streets of Paris somewhere to take refuge.
One France supporter, speaking to Loic Tanzi at Stade de
France, recounted the moment of the explosion: “I was at Gate X
and heard two huge explosions. At the time we thought it was a
bomb and around the ground there was a sort of outcry. Then I
received many text messages and it was then I understood. The
atmosphere became cold around us.”
