More than 120 people have been killed in a series of coordinated terrorist attacks across Paris, including a massacre at a rock concert.
The Bataclan concert hall in eastern Paris was playing host to sold out crowds who had turned out to see US rock band Eagles of Death Metal on Friday night (local time).
Gunmen and bombers also attacked busy restaurants and bars, and explosions were heard near a stadium in what a shaken French president Francois Hollande described as an unprecedented terrorist attack.
More than 350 people were injured in the attacks, about 100 of those seriously.
One Australian, Emma Grace Parkinson, 19, from Hobart, was believed to have been shot and was taken to hospital for treatment.
A witness inside the concert hall said black-clothed gunmen stormed the building and calmly fired AK-47s into the crowd.
Another witness said they heard one of the attackers shout in Arabic "Allahu akbar" (God is greatest), while another person said they heard a gunman blame France's intervention in the Syrian civil war as the reason for the attack.
Several explosions were heard after a police assault of the venue got underway, with reports later emerging that four gunmen, each wearing explosive belts, died.
