I heard about the "attente" at about 10:30 pm and phoned to check that all was ok. However, my mobile was not connecting and I started to get worried. It's hard to sleep in such circumstances and I spent the night checking the internet for news. I eventually got a text saying that all was ok at about 7am this morning.
Apparently, there was mass confusion and carnage everywhere last night. Locals were opening up their homes to help the injured as the emergency services couldn't cope. People were running in all directions in blood-stained torn clothes screaming and crying. Others were helping to make pathways by moving people that had been shot and killed. This comes after an attack earlier this year at the Charlie Hebdo's offices - only a stone's throw away.
Today, people are queuing at the nearby Saint Louis hospital on the opposite side of the road to Le Petit Cambodge in Rue Bichet to give blood to help the injured. People are shocked, bewildered and worse, scared that another attack will happen whilst they are dealing with the aftermath of last night's attack.
